Can eating raw rice actually lead to worms in the stomach, and could those worms really start eating away at our bones? I'm just a bit worried because I've heard this before and would love some clarification.

Raw Rice and Worms
Eating raw rice is not recommended due to digestion issues and potential contamination. However, it does not directly cause worms in the stomach.

Worm Infections

• Typically result from consuming contaminated food or water.
• Common worms include roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms.

Bone Damage Myth

• No medical evidence supports worms from raw rice eating bones.
• Bone damage from parasites is rare and linked to specific infections.

Recommendations

• Cook rice thoroughly.
• Maintain good food hygiene.
• Consult a healthcare professional if experiencing symptoms like stomach pain or fatigue.
