Question about the spinich e-coli outbreak....?
We have bagged spinich in our refridegerator for our pet lizard, question 1) can e coli hurt lizards? 2) Is that something that can spread just by being in our refridgerator? Should we get rid of it even if humans do not comsume it??

Ok, first of all, I have an iguana and your not supposed to feed spinach to a lizard, no broccoli either, that can kill them alone! Now I'm worried about critters. You can feed collards, mustard leaves and that kind of thing though.

I just heard that the Natural Selections brand is the one that is tainted. If you have that -- throw it out and wipe the inside of your fridge with a mild bleach water solution. It won't spread but if you touched the spinach, and the bag, and the shelf in your fridge....wipe it off.

1. Just throw out your bagged spinach.
2. I don't think it could spread to other foods just by being in your refrigerator.
3. Yes. Throw it out. Now!

Yes I had 3 bags I had to throw away last night. I freaked too cause I had just went to Sam's. I got a big thing of salad but I had to go to Newman's own to see what was in it. I was tripping too cause I had ate salad then saw it on TV. But no spinach was in my salad. I throw mine out.

I would get rid of it, period. The bacteria could infect something else in your refrigerator. Not sure what it would do to your lizard, but why take any chances?

Get rid of it. You don't want to hurt your pet. No, it won't spread just by being in your fridge.

I wouldn't even risk handling it. Crazy what's going on and we are hearing about more and more people. I would throw it out right away and then wash your hands well...

The spinach is fine.
But don't eat the lizard!

I would throw it out just to be safe. I'd rather be safe than sorry, ya know.
