Silly question about spores and lotion
I have a question about spores too. I had cdiff more than a year and a half ago. I have an (expensive) lotion that I last used during that time (actually it was 20 months ago exactly). It has been in quarantine since then lol. Is it safe to use or should I toss? I'm low on funds at the moment. The lotion is almost full, and I really like it.

Re: Silly question about spores and lotion
The lotion didn't come in contact with fecal matter as it is in a bottle, right? If you are concerned that there are lingering spores on the outside of the bottle, just wash the outside off with warm soapy water, although it really isn't necessary, but it might make you feel better about handling it.

Re: Silly question about spores and lotion
Yup! Silly question!
You have ingested billions of potentially harmful bugs in the last 20 months and not got sick.
Your immune system just deals with them.
Your healthy now so live a normal life.
