Question
if you eat bread with mold on it would it hurt you or help you?
Hi pat
Most likely neither but it is a bad idea because along with the mold dangerous bacteria could be present. The usual bread mold is black bread mold (Rhizopus) The spores getting into the lungs of someone with a compromised immune system can cause problems.
