Bill Summary

Designates March 30th of each year "Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome Awareness Day."

AI Summary

This joint resolution designates March 30th of each year as "Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome Awareness Day" in the State of New Jersey. Menstrual Toxic Shock Syndrome (MTSS) is a serious, preventable illness caused by bacterial infections, particularly Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, and can affect young women. The resolution highlights that MTSS still impacts a significant number of women annually, with little progress in reducing cases since the 1980s, and notes that risk factors include the use of highly absorbent tampons and other menstrual products. Symptoms can range from headaches and fever to severe organ damage, limb loss, or even death. The purpose of this designated day is to increase public awareness of MTSS, enabling citizens to identify and avoid this illness, and the Governor is requested to issue a proclamation annually encouraging appropriate observation of the day.
