Will Eating Raw Rice Cause Any Health Problem?

I am addicted to eat raw rice (uncooked). Although i try to quit this habit, i consistantly have 3 hand full of raw rice daily. I am 33 years old now and I am having this habit from 14 years old. Now I am really worried whether this will cause any impact on my health issues
