If a female leaves a tampon in too long a rare but sometimes fatal bacterial illness could occur. This illness is known as
A
Chicken pox
B
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
C
Old tampon syndrome (OTS
D
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by bacteria getting into the body and releasing harmful toxins. It’s often associated with tampon use in young women, but it can affect anyone of any age – including men and children.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most commonly, Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria cause toxic shock syndrome. The syndrome can also be caused by group A streptococcus (strep) bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -TSS from Staphylococcus infections was identified in the late 1970s and early 1980s when highly absorbent tampons were widely used by menstruating women. Due to changes in how tampons are made, the incidence of tampon-induced TSS has declined.

Detailed explanation-4: -Leaving a tampon in for too long can lead to infections and rarely cause life-threatening toxic shock syndrome (TSS). TSS is typically caused by an overgrowth of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. Each year toxic shock syndrome affects about 1 in 100, 000 women.
