Cut Resistant Gloves

I looked on websites, and they are primarily focused on treating him to the hospital. I need to know how to care for someone with VRE when they are at home (just for a few days).

All the websites say is that the VRE is spread by physical contact, so keep washing your hands with soap and water. But how long these things live? Freezing to kill? If I touch a surface that has the VRE germ gal on this view, what are my chances of developing either a colony or an infection, simply transfer the germ of my skin? Should I wash my hands every time I touch something she did?

Or the germs die on someone's skin (assuming they are not washed with soap and water)? Or they live for a time on the skin, but only colonize / infect the person if the person is cut, or rub your eyes or touch their language, etc.? How to get the germ of a point of contact Clean Touch-well inside the body where it can cause real damage?

When I visited the hospital, I had to put a sterile gown and latex gloves, and dispose of these in a contaminated waste container as soon as I left the room. One day she had to undergo a procedure done while I was there when I left the room for that, I had to dispose of things that I was already disinfect their hands and don a new set of dress-and-gloves when I came in. Plus, the nurses were (probably rightly) about visitors snarky disinfecting hands before and after visiting patients.

And yet I can not find info on "how clean is clean enough" to deal with someone who has it, when they are at home. I can not disinfect the whole house! help someone?

Me going about my personal experience from visiting my aunt 4 years ago at the hospital who was diagnosed with vancomycin-resistant enterococci among other things ....

She was a patient with HIV positive and susceptible to other infections, therefore, because his immune system is weak, ancomycin resistant enterococci was an infection she had when she died.

Doctors at the hospital told me not to touch. I did anyway. The poor woman has had no contact in months, except for medical personnel. I do not really know what they told me. Just wanted to hug her and touch her arm and hand and he knew they had to be careful because there are many legal issues involved with the hospital protocol.

I hug and held her hand while everyone just stood a few meters. He seemed really comfortable, she and her calm, and I hope he did.

I made sure that I do not touch my eyes or mouth and washed my hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap after my visit.

Perhaps needless to say I have never contracted any disease, and really hope I offered some comfort and support before leaving this world.

I think everything will be fine if you're healthy and stay clean.
