Reminder that, per Wikipedia, aflatoxins - the poisons in molds - "are among the most carcinogenic substances known."
Furthermore, aflatoxin B1 can permeate through the skin and its LD50 can be as low as 300 µg/kg.So I can't actually find anything from a quick search that tells me what "bread poisoning" is. Searches show results for both moldy bread as well as ergotism. Just about every source on the Internet tells me that eating a bunch of moldy bread should just give you a bad case of shits or vomits. But if someone is immunocompromised or has gut issues it could be worse.
But if this was ergot poisoning that's different and doesn't have much to do with ordinary bread mold.
There are some highly toxic species of mold, although they are much rarer than ordinary mold.
I have read that mold can be dangerous because it can cause cumulative damage in the body over time.
I don't have a source, hopefully I'm not regurgitating some bs.
That's life living with a human garbage disposal. They will eat anything. They'll acknowledge the five second rule only in so much as it's their inside joke when they eat a chunk of cake that fell on the floor at least 20 minutes earlier and miraculously escaped the canine detection system. It's bizarre having to justify throwing away 30 cents worth of cookies that were molded because "I would have still eaten them just not the moldy parts." but that and similar conversations are being had regularly.
I would have still eaten them just not the moldy parts
Do they know the hyphae extends past where it's visibly moldy
Real mold enjoyers can tell by taste when they get to the moldy parts.
Oh, I've been cutting the visible mold off for years. Same applies to things like jam (jelly). Spoon out the mouldy bit, then crack on.
Should I be ded?
If you can see mold on part of bread that's wrapped up, that means there's probably microscopic growth that's already spread past the part you see to other sections. Cutting the big part won't help you. The whole thing needs to go, it's contaminated.
Can't I stab the mold to kill it and then eat it? If that worked for what's in the sandwich then I fail to see why it wouldn't work for the mold
Stab a poison and you get lil poison molecules. Stab em and get smaller ones and so on down to atoms and you really shouldnt stab atoms in half
You can stab it, but the problem is that you can’t kill it in a way that matters.
Cut away a generous part around a mould spot, inspect crossection. Looks good? Smells good? Then it's edible. Mould is everywhere all the time. If you can see it or smell it, don't eat.
If you are worried about the mould and microorganisms you can't see, then you will have to eat everything right out of the oven, made with freshly ground flour.
bread poisoning
Oof, I remember someone once sticking a piece of bread in my sandwich in an attempt to harm me
Thankfully someone had the antidote for bread and I was fine
That's how I avoid food poisoning, I get all my calories from soda!
