Cook rice before consuming it. Food is cooked not only to make it easier to digest and cause its various nutrients trouble-free for the body to absorb, but also to kill microbes. One type of bacterium found in a lot of uncooked foods that you should be particularly wary of is bacillus cereus. This causes food poisoning.
