Check: Regardless of whether you, your boss, or whomever has had c diff, there's always a chance to have the infection. Best to be checked out if concerned. There is testing that can be done.

Is it watery?: C diff colitis diarrhea is a foul smelling watery diarrhea usually associated with post antibiotic use but can happen after contact with a patient with c diff. May be this is something else.
