IC safe work snacks? Pumpkin seeds?
I'm looking for some IC safe healthy snacks to take with me to work....

I saw some organic roasted lightly salted pumpkin seeds at the grocery store and bought some. Do any of you find they flare you? I just want an idea of what I may or may not be getting myself into.

And... any ideas for other snacks? Right now I've just got mini marshmellows....


Thank you!

PLEASE read about antibiotic resistance. It is a growing problem, especially in the United States. We are running out of antibiotics that work effectively before scientists can develop new ones! http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/anti_resist.html
