What are the side effects of eating mouldy bread -?

Answer 1

While this behavior is not to be encouraged, most of the time there is no perceived effect from eating mouldy bread. Most of the mold one sees isn't particularly toxic. Mouldy bread poultices were in fact used by quite a few anceit cultures to treat wounds, presumably utilizing the antibiotic properties of the Penicillium sp. mold, which is endemic and often grows on bread. Possible adverse reactions include anaphylatics or allergic reactions and, in very rare cases, mycotoxin poisoning.
