Posting from a throw away. C-Diff is huge problem now and has been for a while. If the immune system is weakened and the system develops this specific infection that person will experience a life changing event. Medical professionals can tell that infection by the smell of the room. I don't know what to do about it - C-Diff is a bad one


That smell is not as widespread as it was, but I still catch a whiff passing by people sometimes.

> Outbreaks of Clostridium difficile were initially associated with trehalose. This finding was disputed in 2019.

I don't find "was disputed" conclusive there. The trehalose stuff got into ice cream, then C. Diff. became a widespread problem. They took it out of most of them, and C. Diff died back down.
