Massage therapist with c-dif. is it ok to be out of the house & can i work & see massage clients? started flagyl yesterday. interview for work thursda

If you are not sick.: Assuming you're not having any symptoms (diarrhea) - in which case you wouldn't want to be at work anyways - & that you have been taking your medication (Flagyl) for at least 48 hrs after the symptoms subsided, you should be able to go back to work & not worry. Use hand hygiene (wash with SOAP frequently & in between patients). C. diff is everywhere (a soil organism) so only treated,not eradicated

C. diff spores: If you have C. diff you should be careful not to spread the illness. If you're just starting the medication I would be concerned it has not yet taken full effect. I would recommend to finish the prescribed course and check with your doc. You want to make sure there is no diarrhea at all, as Flagyl doesn't work 20% of the time. Important to take a lot of fluids, rest now. Work will always be there
