Having irriration could be due to worrying about it, best to be safe and just have it checked. Would suggest though not to use them at end of your period if very light in the future.x

 You can get pretty sick from leaving a tampon in too long, not sure about dying though. If you suspect you still have anything left in there call your GYN and get in to see her/him ASAP. CALL! Now. Better be safe then sorry.
let us know ok?

 I never had a tampon break apart (used them for 44 years) so I really don't think that's the case here. But to ease your fears, tell your Mom and she can decide whether you should be checked out by a doctor. Toxic shock is very rare but it does exist.
