My sisters and BIL's in N.Y. are constantly battleing deer,they eat everything in site,they even came up on one sisters porch and ate what she had in hanging baskets.They have everything people have told them to doto try and discourage them.One BIL went to the 99 cent store,bought a case of irish spring soap,drilled holes in them and hung them all around his garden,it worked for a short while,then i guess they became immune to it. MY BIL was always complaining about them so much,that i went out and bought some fabric with deer all over it and made him a throw blanket,and on the back i put "for the love of Bambi",as he was always saying he wished he could shoot that da** Bambi.My sister was supposed to take a picture when he opened it,but she forgot!! bummer,as i'm sure that was a priceless picture. kathi PS i guess we all fight something,for us it's those darn Gophers,hate them.

It is true. But note the keywords...may contain spores of Bacillus cereus, ...some uncooked rice can survive when rice is cooked...'may', 'some', 'can'. It is the length of time in a zone of certain temps where the bacteria, if it exists, will multiply rapidly. Some copy writers know allot about nothing or very little about many things. Copy/pasting, parroting something written, then using 'click-bait' for on-line hits. "Your rice just might kill you!". Our systems deal easily with daily bacteria if active and healthy. I would just bank the knowledge and keep it in mind if an elderly neighbor or family member is not feeling well. Or a grandchild curls up on the couch with a fever. Rice is thought of as a comfort food. Just make them a fresh bowl if rice sounds good to them. Their systems are already taxed/compromised fighting off whatever they are suffering from. I make a mixed grain and often a bean every weekend. When done I take out what I plan to keep for the next day in a glass bowl and toss in a couple ice cubes to help chill it down, then fridge or freeze within the hour. Set stews and stocks in a second bowl of ice to chill quickly... Only an average of 10-15% of chickens cary salmonella buy why roll the dice. Or that baked potato wrapped in foil. (I don't foil wrap potatoes). Potential for illness if sitting out or in a cooler without oxygen room temp. A caterer baked an oven full of foil wrapped potatoes, turned off the oven, then made potato salad the next day. Sickened an entire party. Serve food hot, and chill food quickly for later. Or freeze. Or do as you always do with a good rock gut digestive system. Just think twice if serving others. Especially pot-lucks. Health Dept. testing has become easier to find the faulty food.

That is the good news for the homeowner but this is one of the reasons its an invasive. As long as you don't have a woods nearby not too much to worry about as birds don't disperse the seed only the wind.

You cant kill mosquitoes, for every one you kill, a thousand of them come to the funeral. :-) Although it would be nice to have a good repellant that was safe to use.
