What exactly would white, dusty mold that formed on bagels do if eaten?
I had a bagel earlier with white, powdery mold on it earlier today(I wasn't aware it was mold). Would this effect me in any way?

The bagel tasted normal, I think I may have dusted most of the "mold" off anyhow. Didn't get sick at all, had a bad headache but that could've been a ton of other things. Thanks guys

it wont hurt you,usually the only time mold will hurt you is if your allergic to it and then you have to inhale it, large amounts of mold could be dangerous but not as much as is on your bagel,the types of molds that grow easily on breads are of the type that are used in medicine.

my girlfriend eats moldy bread all the time haha she just sorta picks off the bigger bits .
That's how they discovered penicillin, do you remember what they taught you in school.
probally give you a stomacheache, diarrahea or bacterial infection
It would probably make you throw up, but call your doctor just in case it's bad.
ew I bet it wouldnt taste very good
maby not, I eat mold inadvertantly all the time. However it always turns out to be algea not what ever that white stuff is. The most it can do is make you throw up.
i had 3 hotdog buns with mold like that...tasted like crap but ate all of em. never got sick though
I'm surprised it was white and powdery, since bread products seem to blue-mold most frequently. It might give you indigestion. On the other hand, the human body is surprisingly good at coping with food that's gone a bit bad. If it didn't taste bad, chances are there wasn't enough mold to hurt you. I've never heard of anyone getting terribly sick from a slightly funny bagel.
you might get sick or nothing might happen. Trust me, I ate alot of moldy sandwiches in my life time.
It was powdery? That's awfully strange for a bagel mold..
Eating just a little bit of mold won't hurt you (But I wouldn't advise doing it on a daily basis).
If you get sick, PLEASE go see a doctor, not Yahoo! Answers.
I have eaten bread mold many times by mistake, and to be honest nothing has ever happened. No stomach ache, bacterial infections(it fungus, not bacteria), no vomiting. I didnt even taste it until I saw it then I threw the rest out.
it was mold but it looks like flour
