>same chemical that caused toxic shock in women who used tampons

I do believe it was a *bacteria* that caused toxic shock.  The problem with
the chemical in the tampons in that it is so absorbent that women were not
bothering to change tampons often enough, thus settting up a perfect
breeding ground for the bacteria.
