Yes it is, No it isn't, Yes it is!!!

Just last month The Nation news media reported
The problem being reported was that Thai rice may be contaminated through over fumigation.
Bangkok Post reported almost immediately that Thai government officials claimed the report was not true.

This story hasn't ended, 
is there cause for great concern
Acute illness produced by exposure to fumigants produces symptoms resembling those associated with common upper respiratory and / or gastrointestinal illnesses.

This makes me reassess my recent week-long  gastrointestinal illness.  Thought it was caused by shrimp in fried rice, or even caviar.  Think I'll purchase my rice from a local farmer for a while.
