Researchers at Harvard Medical School said two kinds of fiber used in tampons foster the production of a bacterial poison that causes the rare disorder. The fibers remove magnesium from the vagina, which produces an ideal environment for bacteria to make the dangerous toxin. If mag nesium is added to tampons made from this material, the researchers said, they appear to be safe. “We hope we have found a means for making tampon fibers such that they will not stimulate maximum toxic production,” Dr. Edward H. Kass said. The two materials that absorb magnesium are polyester foam and polyacrylate rayon. Tampons now being sold are made from cotton, viscose rayon and carboxymethylcellulose, which the doctors said are safe. The study is being published in the June issue of the Journal of In fectious Diseases. The national Centers for Disease Control says that between 1980 and 1984, 114 died of toxic shock syn drome. Three-quarters of the vic tims were tampon users, but the dis order also strikes men and children. ■ rgu ings also contain the two fibers they identified, possibly the explanation for the toxic shock cases among men and children. Toxic shock syndrome most com monly occurs on the fourth men strual day. The researchers specu late that during the days of heavy blood flow there’s so much magne sium in the vagina that the tampon cannot bind it all. But as blood flow slows, magne sium levels drop. Then the tampions remove enougn magnesium to in duce high production of toxin. Toxic shock is extremely rare, and the incidence has dropped by 50 piercent.
