If you've been infected with toxic shock syndrome the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome usually appear within 2 days after infection.

However sometimes the toxic shock syndrome symptoms may show up within the next day but most times it takes 2 days for the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome to appear.

If you do experience toxic shock syndrome you need to go to urgent care or your doctor right away because it can lead to more severe problems and organ failure if left untreated.

Some signs and symptoms of toxic shock syndrome are, muscle aches, confusion, redness of your eyes mouth and throat, a rash that occurs on your palms and soles that is similar to sunburn, low blood pressure, vomiting, diarrhea, a sudden high fever and even seizures.

If you notice any of those symptoms or think you've become infected with toxic shock syndrome see a doctor or go to urgent care or the emergency room as soon as possible before it gets more serious.
