[quote=Anonymous]Someone with C. diff is contagious until at least 48 hours after their diarrhea has stopped. However, C. diff can be spread as long as the bacteria are present in the stool, and some people may continue to shed the bacteria for weeks after symptoms improve. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing with soap and water, and cleaning surfaces, is crucial to prevent spread even after the immediate symptoms are gone. Even if contagion is unlikely, I probably wouldn't stay at the house. Although your family could be exposed even if you stay elsewhere. So, there would be a certain degree of risk regardless.
