Comments on: Fried Rice Syndrome, or You Can’t B. cereus! http://www.8asians.com/2009/01/07/fried-rice/ Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:43:09 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: A http://www.8asians.com/2009/01/07/fried-rice/comment-page-1/#comment-109203 A Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:53:41 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=2459#comment-109203 Just so you all don't freak out. B. Cereus is fairly rare. Of all the food poisonings that can occur in pretty much any meal you eat that you dont prepare yourself, it only accounts for from 3-5%. You are MUCH more likely to get food poisoning from any of the following: raw vegetables, ie. salad, lettuce on your sandwich, mayonnaise or chicken. So stop freaking out, your fried rice is probably safe. If it hasnt killed you up till now, its probably not going to again. If youre young and health, the worst (kind of) thing that could happen is some diarrhea or vomiting for a few hours. -A med student with an MPH in infectious disease Just so you all don’t freak out.
