I have been sure of this since I was a little girl, and now the evidence is finally backing me up–eating alfalfa sprouts can kill you.

Sprouts Northwest in Kent is recalling everything that contains alfalfa sprouts because they’re tied to an outbreak of salmonella that has gotten to at least 13 people in Washington and Oregon. At least two of those people have had to be hospitalized. You should probably get rid of any of their sprouts and, just the be on the safe side, any sprouts from anyone at all. (What? They’re gross.)

Most people recover from salmonella poisoning on their own, but the elderly, very young, and those with compromised immune systems are at a higher risk for hospitalization and death. Groceries and delis in the area are being urged to check the origin of their sprouts, but for now be careful of what you’re putting on your salads [Times].
