Black Mold

Fuzzpaw asked:


the mold im asking about was thin and hairy looking, and consistent white in color. found it on a chocolate cupcake. my mom ate one before noticing the cakes were hairy, and that there was no expiration date on the box. i wanna know how harmful this kind of mold is ( if at all )

I was under the impression that white fuzzy mold ( like whats common on bread) wasnt too bad or nearly harmless. whereas dark black or brown / green mold could be toxic and was cause to worry. is there any truth to that? and should we worry about the white hairy stuff?

and yes, we’re gonna take them to the store we got them from.
**note, as for amount of mold / thickness of it, it was about a quarter sized area more less, and thin enough so u can see the foods color thru it still.

Underneath my kitchen cupboards is green (fuzzy) mold as well as black mold. I have contacted my landlord about the problem. I have a 6 year old boy with asthma, and an 18 month old daughter. We have all been sick with cold like symptoms for over a month now, and also my son has been put back on his 2 inhalers about a month or so ago.
My landlord has someone come in and inspect the mold problem and told me to keep it covered up until they can fix it.
But when I looked underneath my cupboards today it has grown more.
Is this deadly to my kids? I was told by the inspector to clean it with dish soap. What are the laws about mold when you are renting in Canada?

A thick layer of greyish green mold was growing in a bottle of neglected juice. I poured it out — in order to rinse and recycle the bottle — but once the mold hit the sink drain and water came into contact with it, it began to produce visible fume-like vapors into the air. Has anyone else experienced this fuming effect of mold, and could anyone tell me how toxic it may have been? Is the best thing for mold not to be released at all — i.e., in this case, for me to have thrown out the bottle without re-opening it?

I just bought a sandwich from a fast food restaurant and after eating several bites I noticed green mold on the bread. What should I do? Should I complain to the manager?
