"Student who left a tampon in for nine days is left fighting for her life after developing toxic shock syndrome"
dailymail.co.uk
A student who blamed feeling bloated and under the weather on stress was actually suffering from deadly toxic shock syndrome after forgetting to remove a tampon for nine days.
Emily Pankhurst, 20, ignored her symptoms as she was busy studying for her final university exams.
But one day she realised she had accidentally left a tampon in for more than a week, which was entirely black when she removed it.
A few hours later she became faint, began to slur her words and her skin became mottled, so her mother immediately called an ambulance.
In intensive care, doctors said she was suffering blood poisoning as a result of toxic shock syndrome, a life-threatening infection caused by the tampon.
They gave her antibiotics and managed to save her life - but Miss Pankhurst temporarily lost her mobility and is still unable to walk long distances.
