Stay away from sprouts or spinach?

I am paranoid about sprays on our foods such as spinach and bean sprouts. My biggest fear is E-coli that has been found in spinach in the past.

Sprouts supposedly need warm and humid conditions that are perfect for the growth of bacteria as well. So, watch out. No amount of washing is enough to get rid of bacteria. There are ways to kill bacteria in other types of vegetables but no way to eliminate all harmful bacteria from spinach or sprouts.
