Ljekari su tada objasnili kako je došlo do trovanja bakterijom Bacillus cereus. Mnogi i dalje razmišljaju da li je to istina, međutim, ovi drugi podsjećaju kako tjesteninu i rižu nikako ne bismo trebali konzumirati nekoliko dana nakon pripreme niti podgrijavati.

Dr. Lauren DeDecker iskusila je trovanje rižom te je hitno morala da bude prebačena u bolnicu.

- Tokom posjete Himalajima, naručila sam tradicionalno slatko jelo od riže iz Nepala. Nakon samo nekoliko sati, pozlilo mi je. Sljedećeg dana bila sam previše dehidrirana i slaba da bih otišla kod doktora. Morali su me helikopterom prebaciti u najbliži veći grad da dobijem infuziju - kazala je dr. DeDecker za Buzz Feed.

Kasnije je saznala kako je riža celi dan stajala na sobnoj temperaturi i podgrijavana je.

Podgrijavanje riže nije preporučljivo, naročito ako znamo da se bakterija Bacillus cereus nalazi u hrani koja duže vrijeme stoji na sobnoj temepaturi, a lako se razmnožava i na 48 stepeni.

Simptomi se pojavljuju već nekoliko sati nakon jela, a uglavnom se ne dešavaju smrtni ishodi.

@drdedeck Why you shouldnt reheat rice or pasta after too long or more than once! Every med student knows about reheated rice syndrome, caused by the bacteria Baccilus cereus. While lots of people (esp in college...) get away with reheating rice and pasta the way you are not supposed to, it is SO not worth the risk. A few years ago when Logan, Hannah, and I went to Nepal, we went on a month long trek through the Himalayan mountains. Towards the end of the trek, I ordered a sweet rice dish for dinner at the teahouse we were sleeping at, and that night started having aggressive vomiting and the runs simultaneously. I was so dehydrated I couldn't hike out and we had to be helicoptered to Lukla to fly back to Kathmandu. Thank god I had bought travel insurance because the heli ride ended up being free (and gorgeous) ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reheatingrice #healthtips #doctortips #reheatingricesyndrome #reheatingfood ♬ Oui oui oui oui - Sacha Distel
