A member asked:

I ate uncooked rice,will i be ok? will i get worms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If the rice was clean and free of contaminants you do not get worms by earing it raw. If for some reasons it was contaminated by some form of worm eggs, it might be possible. All such vegatables should be rinces & clean before consumption.
