BREAKING NEWS!! New York is now the 11th state confirmed with this e.coli outbreak. I work in a hopsital setting and this "bug" is bad news. Please, if you have any bagged salad in your fridge, whether it's spinach or regular salad greens - throw them out!!! Your health is more important!!

Exclamation

My grandmother just called me and told me she had some bagged spinach tonight. She heard the news after she ate it and now she is worried she is going to get sick. I looked up e. coli and the main symptoms are cramps and bloody diarrhea. I told her to go to the emergency room as soon as she feels anything weird. I would suggest anyone else on here to do the same. If you feel sick, don't wait, this bacteria has already killed someone.

I heard it on the news tonight, I think everyone should stay away from all the bagged produce. Shame I liked eating it to, so easy just wash . Better to be safe than sorry.

The bagged stuff was so much easier, but no more!!! I guess I should try and find one of those salad spinners to help wash and dry the heads of lettuce. So they still make those???
