Whether rice with small black worms is still edible is related to the handling method, whether the rice is spoiled and other factors. The small black worms in rice refer to rice weevils, which usually do not have viruses of their own. Therefore, if the long worms are small, the rice can continue to be eaten after all the small black worms and their metabolic waste are screened and removed from the process. If the rice has more serious black worms or is spoiled or moldy, even after the above treatment, it is not recommended to continue to eat, in order to avoid certain adverse effects on human health, such as stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. If the above-mentioned symptoms occur, you should immediately go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions for routine stool examination to exclude gastroenteritis and other diseases, minor discomfort can be properly rehydrated, serious discomfort requires intravenous infusion of antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, norfloxacin, metronidazole, etc. It is normal and natural for rice to have worms, and usually cannot be avoided. Due to the simplicity of the process, only the adult worms can be effectively killed, and the eggs carried by the adult worms cannot be removed. In addition, some families have the habit of exposing rice to the sun, which can lead to the increased ability of rice to absorb moisture, so it is more likely to be damp, insects, or mold after being put back in the same place. It is recommended to keep the rice in a cool, dry place, or put the right amount of garlic, orange peel, pepper and other smelly food into a cloth bag, and then put it in the rice, the smell of such food has a certain role in repelling insects.
