Bad day for rice at the Maramma temple in Chamarjanagar
[BBC] Eleven people have died and dozens more have fallen ill after eating rice at a temple in India, police say.

About 70 people have been admitted to hospital after eating the food following a ceremony in the southern state of Karnataka.

A police spokesman told the BBC that 11 patients are in a critical condition.

Two people have reportedly been arrested following the incident, and one health official told local media that the food may have been poisoned.

"We were offered tomato rice [which] was smelling," one person who attended the ceremony told reporters.

"All those who threw it away are fine," they added. "Those who ate [it] started vomiting and complained of stomach pain."
Mr. Wife used to alternate food poisoning and dysentary until he learned what to eat in Third World countries. The first rule is to avoid things that smell off.
The incident happened at the Maramma temple in the Chamarajanagar district on Friday, where a special event was taking place.
