C Difficile and how it's contracted

RangeR · 2012-05-02 14:34:45

Hi guys, Can someone tell me how C Difficile is contracted? A family member has contracted it recently and the situations around it are dubious. Not looking for advice, just general info.

long story short it spreads threw spores (they exit the body with the bowel movment) they can last a very long time out of the body 70 or 90 days iirc anyone on antibiotics is at a higher risk than norm, hand washing must be done with soap not alchol
