Clostridium difficile (C. diff) bacteria can survive for long periods outside the body, especially in a healthcare setting where surfaces may not be properly cleaned. The spores can survive on surfaces for months and are resistant to many disinfectants. It is important to follow proper cleaning protocols to prevent the spread of C. diff.

How long can Hepatitis C live outside the body?

Virii like hepatitis actually alter your DNA. Once you have hepatitis, you have it for life. Virii can go through long periods of dormancy where they don't cause harm to internal organs, but can suddenly "switch on" and in the case of hepatitis cause severe damage to your liver. If you think you have been exposed to Hep C it's important to get checked out and then get on a life long treatment regimen.
