So why can't they call it like it really is?

WASHINGTON - First came stomach cramps, which left Christina Shultz doubled over and weeping in pain. Then came nausea and fatigue -- so overwhelming she couldn't get out of bed for days. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, the nastiest diarrhea of her life hit -- repeatedly forcing her into the hospital.

Antibiotics to blame?
It may, however, be the latest example of a common, relatively benign bug that has mutated because of the overuse of antibiotics.

But scientists do have a few clues. The dangerous strain has mutated to become resistant to a class of frequently used antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. That means anyone taking those antibiotics for other reasons would be particularly prone to contract C. diff .

So, is the Post implying that fundies will get a mutated bug, whereas the informed among us will get a lethal pathogen that has evolved because of human intervention?
