Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
It is recommended to wash hands properly and frequently for those having Pseudomembranous colitis as it can be passed from one individual to the other if the hands of the infected person are contaminated. Ideally , try to avoid any bodily fluid exchange till the course is complete and you are termed C.Diff free.
