Mung bean sprouts can carry bacteria, so raw sprouts should be avoided by children, pregnant women, the elderly and anyone with a weakened immune system. Youâll lose some of the nutrients, but youâll kill any potential bacteria, by cooking the sprouts.
The Battle of Harpers Ferry was fought September 12â15, 1862, as part of the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War.
