I tutor this kid at his house which is always FILTHY. His mom gives me home-baked bread. Should I eat it?!
If you still don't want to eat it, instead of throwing it away, tear it into bits and feed birds, squirrels, etc. They're not very fussy.
Answers: If it's baked, whatever bacteria were in it are killed.

no way.
Since it's baked, it's unlikely that bacteria would still be alive but if you feel squeamish, then you won't enjoy it anyway.
just because their house is filthy doesn't mean their food is.
I don't recommend it.
Just use the lovely "Carbs" excuse.
Let her know you're cutting out carbs in your diet and that bread is included in your restrictions. Just make sure you don't have any when ever you're over there. She won't feel insulted.
I would not. God bless her for being so friendly, If her house is not clean then you can just know that her kitchen wont be. You don't even know if she washes her hands with soap.
In this world we live in now it is always best to be safe then sorry.
To get her to stop giving you these gifts, tell her that your family is following a new diet that excludes flour. This new way of eating is to help make your family healthier.
Filthy in what sense? Do you have children? Children making mess filthy or dirty dishes, dirty pots and pans filthy?
You're coming off as kind of a germ-phob and snobbish.
Ask her if you can help her make a loaf and for the recipe... then you can see how she truly "makes" the loaf.
However, I do agree with the others that baking kills bacteria and toasting will kill any new bacteria. We also have immune systems that work really well.
Afterwards, you can tell her you're making your own at home and have tons of leftovers.
Better yet, just let her know that you don't want any more bread... "You don't want to put her out and it's too much for your family." If she insist, just take only a couple slices and leave the rest with her.
Nice Lady but:
Tell her your cutting out Gluten from your diet cause you break-out or something..
Dont eat it...gross. creepy crawlys might have been baked into that bread.
Filthy homes (I mean DIRTY not MESSY) means 'no sanitary' precautions in food preperations.
Accept the gift if its offered. Dispose of it if you are not comfortable with her cleanliness. I would be hesitant to eat it myself if her house is that bad.
Say you're allergic to bread. It clogs your throat or something. If she can't keep her house clean, she probably doesn't keep her hands clean.
Tell her you don't have any room in your freezer.
