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
