Answer 1

no you wont die.

but just to let you know, your dumb.

why would you eat something that you thought was going to kill you??

Answer 2

No sprouts in general do not contain e-coli.  Wash them and you'll be fine.  If you are so concerned just grow your own.  It's really simple and way cheaper.

No

Answer 6

If we don't hear from you again within the next couple of hours, then you probbly did. Post a follow up if you don't.

Answer 7

There are many kinds of E-coli.  Some of them live in our guts at all times.  No, of course you won't die.  You should make sure and wash your veggies though.

Answer 8

You should sprout your own alfalfa and wash the seed good before sprouting it. Anyway, unless your very sickly e-coli isn't goint to kill you, it will just keep you on the thrown for a couple days, so keep a few books in there to read. Hopefully your sprouts are ok.

Answer 9

Back in the late 90's I read where the leading cause of food borne illness in California was from alfalfa sprouts.  Not meat, milk or eggs.  So go ahead eat the sprouts and keep your doctor on speed dial.
