A member asked:
My friend volunteers at an er cleaning rooms and was exposed to cdiff. she was wearing gloves & stayed in the room for 8 min. is it likely she got it?

Avoiding infection: If your friend was following the infection control protocols she was taught before being allowed in an ER, then she is very likely fine. If she has diarrhea, she should see her doctor and mention her recent activities.
