Have you ever wondered what could happen if you eat mold?
One of the most common types of fungi found in households, mold can grow on paper, wood, various foods, and even on some building materials. Basically, if there is moisture or water, mold can grow.
And there are plenty of types of fungi you may encounter; in fact, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that there are more than 300,000 subspecies of fungi in the world. That’s also why the mold that appears on a cookie is different than the one growing on meat.
But what happens if you do eat this microorganism? How dangerous is it to our health? Our post covers everything you need to know about mold.
First things first, though…
