Is Eating Raw Rice A Harmful Habit?
Hello ! Sir I have a problem of eating raw rice. I can not stop myself from eating it. But always feel afraid to get some disease. Does it lead to any big disease or is there any other problem eating it. Suggest something to help me to stop eating it as i can not stop my this habit.

Hello,
It is good to cook your food because raw rice may have bacteria and can cause food poisoning. I suggest you to take a blood count to see if you suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Sometimes anemia is the cause of your habit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
