I did not know that 20% of women are unable to make antibodies that could prevent Toxic Shock Syndrome. It would make sense to encourage harmless bacteria that keep S. aureus in check.

Oral probiotics are known to sometimes colonize outside of the digestive tract, but vaginal application is what the researchers used.

There appear to be multiple options available to purchase. The cultures found best were: L. crispatus alone, and/or L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus.

The main researcher, Patrick Schlievert, appears to be one of the key people who initially identified Toxic Shock Syndrome, decades ago, so he knows what he’s working with.

I remember toxic shock being a thing in the 80's when a new stylish more convenient tampon was marketed and really targeted that 20%.

They forget to put the last part in:

"without treatment, multi-organ failure." ~and certain horrific death.

Too bad the probiotics can’t be patented. Big pharma won’t go touch this. This won’t go anywhere.
