Why isn’t death by toxic shock syndrome the go-to choice for women?

[Volatile]

all they would have to do is leave a tampon in too long

Men have no such equivalent except for making a cut and rubbing shit in it and waiting for sepsis.

Sepsis or toxic shock just seems too long and agonizing. I mean cutting yourself and bleeding to death sounds less painful than that.

What would dying of a septic cut feel like? How long would it take to die?

 

[Pallf]

TSS is too painful and it takes too much time.

 

[millefeui]

What a stupid idea.

I think the first answer on this link is at least somewhat accurate.

This is idiotic.

Almost died of toxic shock in Hong Kong after some bacteria found their way into my blood stream after a bout of food poisoning. Can confirm it is f**king awful.

I saw a news report where a teen died from it in her sleep so I thought it seemed like a good option

If you're thinking about TSS from tampons, that only happens after wearing it for too long (which means wearing the same tampon for over 8 hours, and I'm not doing that), and it's exetremely rare for it to actually happen even if you do wear the same one for so long. I should also mention how agonizing it's supposed to be. Not fun for anyone, even if they were trying to die.

What the fuck.

 

[LookMomImFlying]

So women should kill themselves by tampon; and dogs deserve Nembutal and peaceful exit more than humans. Please get me out of this world now!!

Untreated sepsis equals dying of multiple organ failure, I guess that most people don't want to leave like that

Because it would be a horrible way to go and also not everyone would get TSS. It's super rare (1 in 100,000 women get it) for a reason. Not everyone has staph bacteria, and only a percentage of women with staph bacteria has the kind that will produce the toxins. On top of that, over 90% of people are immune to the toxins. So basically you have to have both the right bacteria and also not be immune to the toxins. Extremely rare combination. If everyone had that combination, TSS would be super common. It's a myth that it only occurs after wearing a tampon too long. People have also gotten it from wearing a super absorbent tampon for just 3-4 hours.

The news makes it sound common

It does, but TSS is actually extremely rare.

People, can we please stop discussing attempting to die by sepsis?

It's totally unproductive, and as a woman I'm a bit offended by the mere suggestion of this although I imagine Volatile didn't mean to offend anyone, since he is now suggesting death via feces application which could apply to both sexes, but which is the most bizarre, disgusting, painful, and unlikely successful method of suicide.

This thread needs to end.

You could just get drunk and fall off a cliff. Accidental death bam.

Nornally old people get septice. Old. Young people have strong immune systems etc. So it would take far longer. How the hell are you just not going ti notice being in severe pain?

It is not common. Several members have already explained this to you in detail.

What do you not understand?

Hey, I'm not the one who resurrected this old thread. I wish this thread would die already
