Can boiling kill a fungus such as C difficile?
Clostridium diff. is an intestinal (hospital borne) infectious bacterium, so boiling 'in there' is no option, but that wasn't the question, was it?In general:Boiling to kill anaerobic spore forming bacteria (like Clostridiaea) is a far from sufficient sterilising method, it only stops (kills) the living cells (not all), it does not stop (kill) the spores from being infectious as new germs. Also toxins are thermo-resistant as far as I know.
How long can c-diff live outside the body?

Has anyone taken a medication called Dificid for a C diff infection Did it cure you?
One answer is not sufficient to know how effective Dificid is. I just took my last pill. Praying C-diff does not come back as it has with the three previous medications that I took. I will report back in a couple of months as to whether or not my C-diff reoccurred after taking C-diff. The Dificid cost me $1,560 with Medicare. It is a shame that medications in the US are so expensive that you have to decide what you can live without in order to pay for your medication :-(
