What Is a Staph Infection?
6. Toxic Shock Syndrome
Bacteria, including staph, release various toxins as a byproduct. This is not usually a problem for us because the volume of toxins produced is so small that it is easily processed by our bodies. When there are a lot of bacteria present, however, then the volume of toxins is also going to be higher.
A lot of bacteria can release enough toxins to be dangerous for us. Symptoms of the condition include nausea, vomiting, a high fever, and aching muscles. The patient is also likely to have stomach pain and they may also have diarrhea. The patient can also become very confused, and a rash on their soles and palms can also develop.
