They don't just kill teenagers. Anyone of any age that uses one even once can get TSS and die within 24 hours. If you survive it it means severe scarring, no children and reoccurring infections, developing allergies to all antibiotics used to treat these infections while you wait for the doctors to decide you can have a hysterectomy and cut the scar tissue from your bladder and colon. It means every time you have sex you take the chance of flaring up the scar tissue and resultant infection and possible death. I had TSS in 1974 long before it people were told of the dangers. I was not able to have children because of it. I am lucky to be alive. They never paid a dime to any of the people that survived or died from it and most died. It was the State of Kansas that paid for my surgery, bless them. I only used a tampon once in my life. But it can happen anytime no matter how long you have used them. I wish people would not use them but try to tell them that and if looks or comments could kill I would be dead for sure.

They're killing people who's bodies are barely surviving anyways. I'd like to point out that tampons are for bullet wounds; what they're used for now is not their original purpose.

People die in automotive crashes should they be banned? Truth is they kill people so what they have a purpose. No one forces people to use them. That being said they can regulate what's in them better some of them from my understanding don't have very clean material
