The only food that I know of where it is OK to cut off the mold is hard aged cheese. And you should remove the not-moldy cheese from at least one inch around the visible mold.

Molds are like icebergs - most of it is not visible. Some of them create toxins that can cause illness. So your best bet is to discard the moldy product.

Can you perm with damage on the ends?

If the damage is just on the ends get it cut off. If the rest of the hair is okay then you should be able to do it. Do a test first just to be on the safe side.

Food with mold okay to eat if mold is removed?

Some yes, others no. If I found a piece of bread with mold on it, I would toss the whole loaf. Bread mold is often hard to see, and spreads so rapidly that it's nearly impossible to make sure you're not eating mold. As for cheese, it's pretty easy to spot the mold and cut off just the moldy portion. I do it all the time. So, it depends on the food. I would not mess with meats or any liquids showing mold. And if vegetables are showing mold, they're probably already rotten and gross.
