Is moldy bread related to any specific sickness?

Answer by  monkeyz (3150)

Moldy bread isn't exactly good to eat, but it probably won't make you sick if you do. The big worry about moldy food is mycotoxins, which can make you very ill. Bread mold might also contain bacteria. You can probably eat moldy bread safely, but you'd be taking a risk.

I don't know about any specific illnesses/diseases it is linked too. However, moldy grain has been known to produce a sickness that caused hallucinations and lung issues in history.

I believe the only sickness moldy bread can be related to is a severe stomach ache or diarrhea. Stomach pain but no other sicknesses.

We should NOT eat moldy bread. Most mold produces mild toxins that can cause illness in people. Moldy bread will cause an upset stomach or worse.
