Clean Your Hands With Soap And Water

AARP Bulletin in this month issue, reports that a hospital germ on the warpath.

The new germ is called C. diff, short for Clostridium difficile, is raging through hospitals, infecting hundreds of thousand of patients a year. The bacteria contaminate every surface, including bed rails, bed tables, nurses' uniforms, privacy curtains faucets and call buttons. When patients touch these surfaces and then pick up food without washing their hands, they ingest the germ. To kill the germ, you need to use bleach.

What can you do to protect yourself? Insist that everyone treating you clean their hands before touching you. Clean your own hands thoroughly before eating. do not touch your hands to your lips. Use wipes containing bleach to clean the items around your bed. do not mix clothes from the hospital with the family wash; wash with bleach. Regular laundry detergents do not kill C. diff.
