Update: 2019-11-21

Description

Today on the show I'm talking to Sharra Vostral, associate professor of history in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University and author of Toxic Shock: A Social History. Sharra explains what Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is, how it's related to tampons, the TSS crisis of the early '80's and answers the #1 question I get asked about TSS.
