Bacteria adapt to high temperatures and survive even after cooking. These include the bacterium Bacullus cereus. According to scientists, about 60 thousand people died from the use of boiled rice in the world.

During the study, experts found that rice should not be stored at room temperature, as this can lead to sudden poisoning. After cooking, the cereal should be put in the refrigerator so that the bacteria cannot become active.

According to experts, this treatment is not capable of destroying all types of microorganisms that enter the rice from the soil. Then their spores begin to grow and multiply, and also release dangerous toxins into the product. If a person consumes such a dish the next day, the probability of poisoning can increase to 100%, so do not risk your health and put the dish in a cold place.
