And what is that supposed to prove?
That's like saying "I've driven drunk. Never killed anybody." You've been lucky.
Rice can contain Bacillus cereus spores, which are not killed by boiling, and if cooked rice is left at room temperature for a few hours, or is refrigerated for a couple of days - the spores may develop into bacterial cultures, which then multiply and produce toxins. Reheating at that point may kill the bacteria, but the rice is already contaminated and causes very unpleasant food poisoning, which in extreme cases may be fatal.
But hey - if you need to feel the consequences yourself, before you listen to people, who know better, then please - do carry on supporting Brexit... I mean - reheating rice.
