Beware of Bacillus Cereus:

There are so few cases of this annually and as someone who lives in Asia and has eaten a lot of rice I think the warning is overblown.
The pathogenic bacteria can survive boiling: bad for us.
Infections seem rare: better.
Counterpoint anecdata: I had Giardia once, and that's a month I never want to repeat. Ever. (survives boiling; isn't super common)
I went to see the physician to treat it, a MD, at least I thought. The doc said he wanted to give me "ivermectin" to eliminate the infection(!!!). Ivermectin(!?!). is this a weird COVID quack? I don't see how a HORSE DEWORMER has any place in human medicine - I'd rather keep the giardia, thanks, then take some quack horse dewormer drug
So it seems very real for me.

please. don't take unnecessary risks with food...
in most cases it's not like "not getting involved in an accident". there are things you can do to avoid egregious cases.
