I don't put sprouts in my vegetable share anymore just for that reason.  However, we just came home from eating at a Vietnamese restaurant and I ate the sprouts.  But then, we've been drinking water piped down from our mountain side spring for 25 years and so are probably resistant to illness caused by most bacteria.
