STEC E. coli can cause bloody diarrhea and cramps, especially dangerous for kids and seniors, while Salmonella often brings fever and stomach pain. This isn’t the only outbreak this summer — jalapeños and eggs are also on the list. One person hospitalized in Wisconsin, two in Minnesota. If you ate these sprouts and feel sick, call your doctor.
