![]() JOHN (angry) :Give me a fucking second! (Ominous background music.)Something has torn the limbs off a corpse before us and thrown against the side of this building. What happened? H-how did they –ĪRTHUR (scared) : T-tell me what you see! JOHN (growling) :Arthur, there are bodies everywhere!ĪRTHUR: Oh my god. Streaks of it and… the buildings on either side of us are… JOHN:The pathway before us, it’s… covered in blood. JOHN:Arthur, this… there’s carnage everywhere! (Arthur starts to walk again - this time, it sounds like he’s stepping in something wet.)ĪRTHUR: What am I walking it? It seems – it seems wet? JOHN:To our left, there’s something on the side of the road.ĪRTHUR: What! Fuck. (Arthur continues to walk, careful footsteps.) I see now some of the towers deeper in the city are also demolished. JOHN:There are a few buildings here completely destroyed. The buildings that surround, their odd architecture aside, seem to have life in them, or at least recently did. The buildings that surround us are tall, but some are… many are damaged… to the point of nearly being ruins. I don’t know what I expected, but I assumed it would be less … Odd that they were shut.ĪRTHUR: To keep out unwanted visitors, I suppose. The archway we’re passing through acts as a sort of gateway toward the doors we entered through. I can see a few buildings it seems like the city itself is walled. ![]() JOHN:I just want you to be aware of what you’re risking.ĪRTHUR (brisk) : I am aware, and I’d risk it all. look, we’ll be covert.ĪRTHUR: We did it before, at the hotel. I-I can’t see the city yet.ĪRTHUR: Right. We need to be prepared to leave if that is the case, especially if we want to remain out of the pits.ĪRTHUR: We’ll stay quiet, ask minimal questions, maybe. Arthur enters with a huff.)ĪRTHUR (hoarse) : I couldn’t if I wanted to.

As a result, trying to study TSS from menstrual cup use is especially hard because it means studying something that could show up in only a tiny sliver of the population. And the chance of getting TSS is less than 1 in 100,000. Think about it this way: Survey-based estimates vary, but only around 0.3% to 1.6% of people who menstruate use cups. “There’s no reason to think that the risk would be lower or higher than with tampons, and unless we get a lot of case reports we’ll never know,” said OB-GYN Jen Gunter. It’s also challenging to study the true risk of menstrual cups because they are still used by a relatively tiny slice of people, and TSS is so rare. That is not true, and there have been at least five confirmed cases of TSS in people using menstrual cups. Some menstrual cup makers and advocates also claim that using a cup eliminates the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
