.....is bread mold harmful to eat?

EDIT: Still have not gotten a wholly confirmed answer lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depends on the species of mold, but enough of them are toxic that the general advice is to avoid all moldy bread.

It's as harmful as picking up a random bug and eating it.

Which means: you might die. Or you might not.

Trusting the internet to give you the answer here as the final defacto answer... Maybe not the best.

Sorry, my plethora of mycologist friends are non-existent.

I go to Lemmy to get crowd-sourced information from people's personal experiences. From the looks of it, people are saying "yeah maybe don't do that. Risky." I'll believe them! Amd the reasoning behind them seems sound, as well.

Better than asking bots on F×cebook or whatnot.

If you keep eating it, you'll have to change your name to ShartEatingBreakfast

I've heard of people eating bread that had mold on it but not knowing it because the only visible mold was on the other side of the loaf, they had eaten it for a few days and had the shits

Fuck, I remember Gumby. What happened to that guy?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dunno. I miss him, though.. and his pony pal Pokey, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe the blockheads finally got him.

No. Just, why? Gumby’s whole thing is that he’s made of clay.

SEB is a 32 year old woman, presenting to the emergency room...

Listen: I've never gotten sick from eating slightly moldy bread. Ever.

Scallions, however, sent me to the emergency room shitting blood (turns out it was an allergy or intolerance or some nonsense).

I ain't one of those "Taco Bell gives me explosive diarrhea" nerds. That's weak. 😤
