Uncooked rice can contain spores of bacillus cereus and those spores survive cooking. When rice is cooled slowly (i.e. left on a counter to cool instead of being put into the refrigerator within 2 hours), the bacteria spores grow and produce a toxin that makes you sick. Reheating the rice won't kill those spores.Mar 7, 2014
