How bad is mold?

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

I had just bought some hot dog buns a few days ago. Tonight, I decided to make hot dogs. I checked the buns, just to make sure (I've had problems with bread going moldy really fast before)... didn't notice anything. So I made the hot dogs.

Well, as I bit into one of them, I noticed that the bun had a huge mold spot on it that I had bitten down into. Spit it out. Don't know how I didn't notice it before.

I checked the rest of the package. There was like, 1 other bun in the package that was moldy. The rest looked good. Didn't eat anymore, but I don't know how much mold (if any) I actually ate.

Should I expect to feel like ass tomorrow? Should I plan on taking myself to the doctor? Will nothing happen?

I can't really recall ever having eaten mold before. So I don't know much about the effects of eating it.

Um...my 2 cents...only mold I know that is safe to eat is Bleu Cheese...that is mold on the cheese. Tasty as hell(smelly though).

It's nothin to worry about, you shouldn't get food poisoning or anything if you didn't eat a lot.

This link should be helpful, but moldy food should be thrown out.

You'll be fine Nell, just toss out the moldy stuff and next time inspect your bread!

Haha thanks. I did, obviously not well enough tho. I'm pissed. And I tried to call the doctor's office to talk to an advice nurse, and the lady like yelled at me for trying to call for advice. She's like "We don't give that kind of information over the phone, you either need to come into the emergency room, or don't, but I can't answer your questions or tell you if you need to come in. It's against our policy".

I'm like, k, I'm not gonna come to the emergency room for some moldy bread. I just wanna know if I should grab some medicine from the convenience store or something...

But yea, the stuff is already tossed out.

Mold can be dangerous. 5000 people die a year from food related microorganisms.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Im gonna guess that im not gonna die. Its been like an hour now and i dont feel anything. So im pretty confident saying i won't be joining that 5000.

Please remember to check for mold first before eating.

Nothing'll happen, my dad ate some moldy bread once. No idea why it went bad like a week before the expiration date though.

You might want to try keeping your bread in the fridge if you don't already. I'm able to keep bread fresh enough to eat for quite awhile by doing that; it goes stale after a few weeks but doesn't seem to develop mold when kept cold.
