When I asked one GI what I could do to prevent recurrence of c diff she said (1) practice good public handwriting hygiene and (2) stay out of the hospital. So true.

Darn! I corrected "handwriting to "hand washing" 4 times!

Very true at home I wash for at least 15 seconds rigorously and we bleach wipe down everything that gets touched on a regular basis. It’s too bad hand sanitizer doesn’t have a brand that works on cdiff, think of how many surfaces and things you touch going anywhere often times without washing capabilities. It should also be mandatory to have touchless hand soap, water, and towel dispensers along with toilet flushing in all public areas. Cdiff seems to be growing in infections in the USA.
