After Lehi City announced that E. coli was found in the irrigation water, some home gardeners are concerned about the health of their home-grown fruits and vegetables.
LEHI, Utah — In just a few weeks, it will be the start of peak harvest season globally — something Lehi home gardener Misty Sudweeks is excited for.
"I had just made a bunch of pico de gallo out of fresh tomatoes, so I'm like, 'Ooh, yikes — I hope we don't get sick,'" Sudweeks said."I'm a nurse, so I know E. coli can be a big deal and make people really really sick, so just trying to take it seriously." "Some pathogens are human illness-causing pathogens such as E. coli and they will stay in the produce, and when you consume it, it will go in our human system and attack parts of the body and cause human illness," Poudyal said.
