Soapy water spray is really good (bad) for aphids. And of course it won't hurt you.
Sherrie's spray sounds good (bad) too. MB

Jerry Baker has wonderful remedies for all sorts of garden pests- here's his Amazing Aphid Antidote recipe: 1 small onion,chopped fine,2 med cloves of garlic,chopped fine,1 Tbsp baby shampoo or liquid dish soap,2 cups water. Put all ingredients in a blender & blend on high. Let mixture sit overnight & strain thru a coffee filter. Pour the liquid into a handheld mist sprayer,and spray/mist lightly once a week. Hoping this helps you.  (tho I would rinse the sprouts really good before cooking!) *laughs*
