Distinguishing from other short-term bacterial foodborne intoxications, such as by Staphylococcus aureus, can be difficult. [45] Emetic toxin can withstand 121 °C (250 °F) for 90 minutes. [47] As a result of the emetic type's association with rice, it is sometimes referred to colloquially as 'fried rice syndrome'. [48] [49] [50]
Its primary host is rice and it is also commonly found in maize and sunflowers. R. microsporus causes disease in humans, one of its alternative hosts, causing infections of the lungs. In one rare case it was found tainting hospital linens in Hong Kong leading to a scare that brought the disease into the forefront of mainstream media. [10]

1910–45 – Cadmium from mining waste contaminated rice irrigation water in Japan. The illness, known as itai-itai disease, affected more than 20% of women aged over 50 years [6] 1920 – In South Africa, 80 people suffered poisoning from eating bread contaminated with naturally occurring pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Foodborne illness (also known as foodborne disease and food poisoning) [1] is any illness resulting from the contamination of food by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites, [2] as well as prions (the agents of mad cow disease), and toxins such as aflatoxins in peanuts, poisonous mushrooms, and various species of beans that have not been boiled for at least 10 minutes.
Management of bacterial leaf blight is most commonly done by planting disease resistant rice plants. PSB Rc82 is the standard variety of rice used in Southeast Asia, and the use of this cultivar enables the harvest of an estimated 0.8 million metric tons of rice per cropping season that would have otherwise been lost to bacterial leaf blight.
Rice-sheath blight is a disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph is Thanetophorus cucumeris), a basidiomycete, that causes major limitations on rice production in India and other countries of Asia. [1] It is also a problem in the southern US, where rice is also produced. [2] It can decrease yield up to 50%, and reduce its quality. [3]
