Whilst I don't eat mouldy bread intentionally (as in, it will have happened without me noticing on occasion) what's the actual potentially bad thing that happens if one does? Specifically?

    There are more types of fungus than any other type of life. Lots of them are mostly harmless. Some of them are a little toxic. Some others are very much toxic. Some others will cause allergies, fungal infection, rare metabolic disorders or all together.

    It's the worst kind of lottery, most likely nothing will happen but if something happens it will be pretty uncomfortable. IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
