With the holidays coming up and potential for people spreading germs and happiness, wondering about c diff and how contagious it is, precautions to take... There's a relative by marriage whose toddler supposedly has c diff; however, this individual tends to exaggerate. So if her child truly has c diff, I'm not only concerned about ds, but a couple elderly relatives in the household recovering from surgery, as well as the multitude of small children we'll be hosting for Thanksgiving dinner.

I thought it was pretty contagious and just googled and yes, it is and it is "hardy". http://www.c-difficile-treatment.com/what-is-c-diff/is-c-diff-contagious/
Why wouldn't they treat if that poor child has c diff? Augh. Always something. Good luck with what you decide.

Yes it is very resistant and can live on surfaces for a while. Hand washing is extremely important and if the child uses a toilet then that should be taken into consideration.
