Is moldy bread eatible?

It varies on multiple factors.

To begin, discussing the visible look of the mould.

There is commonly 3 visible colours of mold that rests on our bread. sometimesnit can be just 1 colour. sometimes it can be 2 or 3. some have complained of multiple colours.

the three common colours consumers are generally aware of:

1 . green (as far awareness goes, this is safe unless you have allergies) common side effects are bloating and diahhrea which usually passes within 24hrs. sometimes 48 hours. (green mold hosts a minimal risk on bread, provided you dont eat if its been left to migrate and multiply itself over 2 or more days.

2. white (this is basically the same as a yellow or amber alert for a lot of threat risk potential). 30% of consumers will commonly suffer with diahhrea, bloating, fever, and/or vomiting. this mold has a lot of contaminent spores. it is still however edible and not life threatening unless the consumer has a lower than usual immune system. When stated edible. the consumer should be safe provided it is a sandwich from mold that has only become slightly visible on the bread itself. any more than just specs and the consumer may need to hug a bowl for a day to even 4 days varying.

3. black (this has a red code for health risk) Black mold, whether it be found on food or objects around the home, is highly contaminated with dangerous spores and toxins. just breathing near this mould can affect and INFECT any animals lungs. other organs such as kidneys, bladder, intestines will also suffer from this mold. breathing it is toxic enough. Eating it... is life threatening. he consumer could fins themselves curled up into a ball... crawling to the loo or worse, collapsing and becoming unconscious... if someone believes they have consumed black mould. call your local doctor/practitioner immediately for advise... if unable to contact the local services. the consumer should contact the out of hours services. in the united kingdom. this will either be 111 (local service for east midlands and east yorkshire region) or nhs direct. in the United States or Canada... (please add numbers as i do not know them)

Other factors

a) the legnth of time the mould has been visible and potentially growing (going by 12hr intervals up to 3 days.... after 3 days it is safer to throw it away. by this point more than a quarter of the bread would be visibly mouldy and this is in no safe criteria whatsoever)

b) the damp feel of the bred by the consumers own hand (how soggy the bread is)

c) the temperature the bread has been left sitting with (anything higher than 20 degrees and the mould can develop at a harmfully alarming pace)

d) the smell (dont attempt to smell any form of mould. fungal/bacterial pneumonia can be caught this way along with other life threatening illnesses) basically if you open the loaf and the vapours are like a slap in the face. get rid of the loaf immediately without even looking at it.

Does an orange peel contain penicillin?

I don't think so, I think the mold of penicillin grows on oranges and bread if you leave them in a 70 degree temperature. It will grow a blue green algae, penicillin.. That needs to be purified further.. Orange peels contains all sorts of awesome oils that control the growth of bacterias, etc.

Why does bread get moldy?

Answer

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food for that matter) is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria will infect it and take it over. The bacteria will form green or brown mold.

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food that contains moisture) is left unprotected in the open air, (can happen during manufacture as well) mold spores will land on it. Mold is a member of the Fungi Group or Kingdom depending on the classification scheme. The mold, finding a suitable environment will use the moisture and nutrients in the bread to reproduce. Bacteria do not produce mold.

Has the internet changed the way people live?

Easily! The world has become much smaller since the creation of internet. You can research just about anything without ever leaving home; vacations, hotels, medicine, any subject in school. You can find answers to questions you are clueless about...on sites like Wiki. You can visit art gallaries, map locations, map sites with cameras to check everything from jail cell behavior to squirrel behavior; views on freeways, to views of constellations. There are times you can log in and talk to astronauts WHILE they are in space. As for students, you now do joint projects with other kids all around the world in REAL time...you talk to each other, as it happens and can watch each other's expressions. You can write letters...without stamps, make calls...without phones, text message to phones, watch TV, and download songs all without ever leaving your chair. There are businesses now that are totally run from home and still connect to people around the world and where else could people in 10 countries all bid on some bizarre thing on auctions and work in the last minute to outbid each other. Let's not forget banking, applying for college, loans, buying cars, checking out library books...just download them onto your IPOD to save time, and do all this while you have pictures being sent out to print, answering mail, and watching a movie in different windows. Yep, just a little change.

Penicillin has no effect on the fungus that causes athletes foot. Penicillin itself is derived from a fungus. Penicillin is anti-bacterial, it affects bacteria. Penicillin may be used if the athletes foot is serious enough to cause a bacterial infection. Anti-bacterials can cause athletes foot and other fungal infections to worsen by killing the "good" bacteria we all have on our skin and in our bodies. Some of those bacteria feed on fungi.

Can you use fish penicillin for your dog?

No. Antibiotics actually cause yeast infections. In addition to destroying the bad bacteria that makes a dog (or person) sick, antibiotics also destroy the good bacteria that the body needs to stay healthy. Also, antibiotics only work on bacteria, and a yeast infection is caused by a fungus. So what your dog needs is an anti-fungal medicine, which you can get from your vet. An antibiotic will be absolutely useless on a yeast infection, and will only make it worse. When taking antibiotics, you can give your dog yogurt, but not frozen yogurt, because it has no active cultures (acidophilus). You can also give your dog acidophilus pills while its on antibiotics to prevent yeast infections, but check with your vet for the amount to give your dog. The tablets are available at any drug store, and you don't need a prescription. These same measures also apply to people.
