Hello Doctor

 

Is it worrisome if I ate bread dipped in hot soup, then found mold on the last slice I had taken?

Hello

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query

 

1. Health Risks:

Mold grows in warm, moist conditions, contaminating food like bread. Consuming moldy bread can lead to health risks due to mycotoxin production.

 

2. Symptoms:

From mild discomfort to severe reactions, especially for sensitive individuals. Mold spores can spread in the batch if unnoticed and consumed.

 

3. Caution:

Promptly discard moldy bread to avoid health hazards.

If symptoms arise, such as nausea or allergic reactions, seek medical attention.

Stay hydrated and consider probiotics for mild symptoms.

 

4. Medical attention :

It's advisable to schedule an Doctor appointment for personalized medical advice.

 

Thanks
