I just learned that the hand sanitizer in the hospital does not kill C.Diff.
I never knew that before and thought I would spread the news.
The container in my room says it right on it. It says to wash your hands and then use the sanitizer.
Very interesting!!!

How is c-diff transfered? I've never heard much about it until recently on here.

Are you still feeling better and your #s going up?

C-diff is present in fecal matter. It's transfered when people don't wash their hands <b> well </b> after using the restroom (very few people wash their hands for 20 seconds) or by nurses/others who come in contact with fecal matter in the hospital setting (changing diapers, etc) and who don't wash their hands properly/ have matter on their clothing and transfer it to other patients.

Sounds horrendous but it happens!

In terms of if <b> all </B> hand sanitizers kill C. Diff, the jury is out. Just like those wipes you can buy to clean surfaces, hand sanitizers do vary in ingredients. So it's important to read the labels and do research before assuming certain things kill certain bugs <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
