HELP! I need to know what will happen if i eat something that is moldy!?

Answers:
don't freak out!! if it was just random mold from something that tends to get moldy (can't tell you how many times i've eaten bread or cheese only to finally look at it and see mold - don't get me wrong, i still finish the sandwich!). but if you just accidently got a fuzzy mouth full of public gym shower/locker room mold, maybe get it checked out.

Rinse your mouth, Drink a beer and relax your ok.

just calm down if it just touched your mouth go and brush your teeth, if you ate it consult your local physician. nothing could happen if you ate it but there is still a chance.

go gargle mouthwash immediately and if vomiting occurs go to emergency immediatly, mold is a microbial indicator of decomposistion

Chill out
just brush your mouth
and if you turn green
tomorrow then
you should see a doctor
lol just kidding just go
brush your teeth your fine :]

well just rinse out your mouth and possibly contact your family doctor u should be ok but just to make sure i would go have a great day!

You could get sick, but it is highly unlikely you will considering it only touched your mouth, so dont worry!

Probably nothing unless you're allergic to mold. If you are, call your doctor. If not, brush your teeth if it'll make you feel better and then calm down. You'll be fine.

Do you own any soap?? Wash your face with warm water and soap. Or are you being a smart@ss because you ate bleu cheese because that's all mold!
If you DID ingest some your stomach has so much acid that it would kill just about anything ,but if it did manage to get through, worst case scenario you get diarrhea.

Eating mold depends on the food involved. A slice of moldy bread if eaten could make you sick, the same goes for jelly, fruits, meats. The mold found on cheese is okay. Just cut the moldy part off and use the rest. However, the cheese has to be a hard type. If it's a softer cheese throw it out. Even if you ate some moldy food it won't kill you. Unless you ate alot of it or were sick at the time. As the saying goes "a little dirt won't hurt". Its true for mold too.
