Firstly its very rare, they just write it on the tampon packs so you don't sue them. It generally occurs if you leave a tampon in for more than 24hrs (although a friend of mine left a tampon in for a week and was OK) or of you have an allergic reaction to the material in the tampon itself. If you get a temperature, rash, vomiting & confused take the tampon out immediately and call you GP.Health Question & Answer
