  Ok, I'll catch one of those weevils one day and see if fake lemon juice kills them. If not, Starpuppy better start worrying.

  chemically gastric acid is an acid solution consisting mainly of hydrochloric acid, but also containing small quantities of potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
  
  The pH of gastric acid is 2-3 in the stomach lumen, the acidity being maintained by the proton pump, a H+/K+ ATPase.

  Store ur rice in a sealed container. Don't leave any openings (to prevent bugs/ insects/ etc coming in).
  
  And.....cook the rice well.... It doesn't matter if something is still inside, everything should be edible once the rice is cooked.....
  
  And....don't forget.....don't wash ur rice too many times or too rigoriously before cooking. Coz the outside/ surface of rice has important nutrients.

  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!
  
  I cannot stand the thought of eating any insects with my rice.
  
  I have this detestable friend who told me the average person eats about a kg of insects in his/her lifetime while they sleep.
  
  HOW DID THAT HAPPEN ????

  sorry ferret... but i think it's true that we actually inhale a few insects once in a while when we're asleep
  
  well, you can put up mosquito nets in the future to prevent eating bugs when unconscious

  the weevils mean extra protein good food. best separate them from rice, cook rice then put the creatures back, see them crawling on the cooked rice eat liao also shiok!

  Don't let their snouts touch your skin, they excrete a very strong alkali that'll burn right through your genetic makeup. Also, its what keeps them from being digested while swimming in your stomach. Really StarPuppy, do think twice before you swallow another. If you read what I had to say about their armour on the first page, that I wasn't lying.
