Cleaning out my fridge, I sometimes find green
moldy unnamed stuff, from the Paleozoic era.

So I wonder, let's say bread has a bit of mold,
not too much, maybe you pull it out in the dark,
you're drunk, you don't even notice it, Is it toxic?

If it's green it is probably Penicillin.

Depends, are you allergic to penicillin?

I would assume that would be the biggest risk--penicillin tends to
provoke severe reactions in the allergic.

Allergy isn't the only danger. Some molds are carcinogenic.

It seems almost all food is carcinogenic. Wheatena is essentially banned
in California because it has the same carcinogen as most baked wheat
products. Even broccoli and other brassicas. considered by many to be an
anti-cancer food, has carcinogens in it.

Wheatena isn't banned -- they just have to disclose the amount of
carcinogen/neurotoxin it contains.

Not noticing that you're drunk has been proven toxic many times.

But if you're asking about the mold, depends on what it is. I'd say if you
find yourself eating moldy bread while on a drunk, pour more alcohol on it.

If you start hallucinating, call 911. The ambulance lights will probably
give you a real nice show.

Funny that a drooling cretin is posting to sci. groups. I bet they are way
interested in your crap.

I used the word "essentially." How many bread or melba toast purveyors
tell you how much carcinogen is in their product. If you were selling a
product that has been on the market for well over a hundred years, how
would you like to print a "cigarette label" on your product. I am
willing to sign a health disclaimer when I buy Wheatena for my
consumption even though it does contain a carcinogen even if the
producer will not admit it.

For now, it seems that the manufacturer is not whipping Wheatena into
California, and a few other states.

Actually Melba toast's levels are relatively modest. Ry-Krisp is the
one to avoid.

Wheatena is well up there, though. Other people pledged to cut down
the amount of acrylamide in their products, and many are at
undetectable levels. It has 5 to 30 times the amount of other cereals.

The people voted for notification. You can't go anywhere without
seeing a Prop. 65 warning though, so I don't know what Wheatena's
problem is. Let their Calif distributor slap stickers on, if they
don't want to let other states know.

Is it that easy?
I knew penicillin was discovered as a mold, but I assumed
there was some processing.

Just leave some bread (probably wheat) in the fridge,
and viola, penicillin?

Not exactly. You really need a cello. A double bass does even better.

I put "Toxic Mold" into google, got many hits.

Here is a good one:
