Vostral, Sharra Louise (Author)
Historian Sharra Vostral's Toxic Shock is the first history of TSS. Vostral shows how commercial interests negatively impacted women's health outcomes; the insufficient testing of the first super-absorbant tampons; and how TSS became a 'women's disease,' for which women must constantly monitor their own bodies. A study at the intersection of public health and social history, this book brings to light the complexities behind a stigmatized and underdiscussed issue in women's reproductive health. Importantly, it warns that as we move forward with joint replacements, implants, and internal medical devices, we must understand the relationship of technology to bacteria and recognize that their interactions within the human body can bring about unexpected, and sometimes deadly, consequences.
