Oh no,

I just had curry and rice leftover from last night and I didn't refrigerate the rice - just had it in a pot.

What am I to expect???? I'm serious. I didn't realise it was such a risk.

Your body can handle a certain number of bacteria, before food poisoning effects become apparent. The ability to cope with different amounts of bacteria varies from person to person, and on how healthy the individual is at that time too - both physically and emotionally.

You'll probably be totally fine, because your body will be able to cope with the amount of bacteria (and toxins) on the rice. But... if you feel sick, just hold your hands up and say "okay, I got unlucky this time".

True 'food poisoning' isn't that common, because the body can usually cope with the nasties. It's taken seriously, however, because when it does occur it can be mild right through to fatal. The real danger groups are children & the elderly, and people who are already ill.

The human body is amazing.
