Question 2

I have been drinking ice tea from a container that has mold in it. i'm not sure how long i've been drinking this. what's going to happen? will i get s

Accepted Answer

Whether you know it or not, our immune systems are working everyday for us, often 'behind the scenes'. What you describe here sounds relatively harmless. We're exposed to moulds/bacteria/viruses--every day. If this was a problem, there would be noticeable symptoms which you don't have.  The best thing to do is throw out that container and and watch for any mould next time.

Mold usually grows on food or drinks that are spoiled so why would you eat them.....

Question 4

What to do if i noticed mold growing on the exterior of a beer can after drinking some. please help?

Accepted Answer

Wipe off the top to clean it.  Then pour the rest of the beer into a glass.  If the mold is only on the outside, and none is seen in the glass, it will probably be safe to drink.

Question 5

I have been drinking water from a brita pitcher, and i'm ten weeks pregnant. i just noticed that it has some mold on the spout of the pitcher and arou?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concerns with ingesting mold, especially when pregnant. Please refer to the Brita manufacturers instructions regarding proper cleaning and maintenance of your filter. Likely, the amount of mold exposure you have had is very small, and not likely to cause illness for you or your baby. Please see your doctor soon, especially if you feel ill.

Question 6

Just discovered i have been drinking out of mouldy cup for 1 week, my nasal septum feels weird...it feels "full". also had flu symptoms for past week. how do i know if i have sinusitis from mold? could it resorb the maxilla?

Accepted Answer

Are you quite sure that you were drinking from a moldy cup  for the whole week? Usually the mold clears out when you wash or rinse your cup.  Anyhow, the molds are not known to cause sinusitis or to resorb maxilla. Your symptoms are more likely from a virus infection and should be gone in few days. If not then go see your doctor.

Question 7

Think i have been drinking out ofa cup with mold in it fora week. dishwasher broke so have been washing my cup by hand (no sponge just washing up liquid + water). water tastes strange outofit and have been feeling ill. could the mold getinto my bones?

Accepted Answer

and certainly not so soon.  Most such molds are pretty harmless anyway, but they do taste bad and that alone could make you feel ill.  When washing dishes by hand, always use a brush or a "scrubby" so as to get all the food particles/dried drink off the surface.  Sponge not a good idea because it can harbor bacteria.

Question 8

Question 9

Why does it taste so bad when i have a cold? every single time i develop a cold, it starts with my saliva feeling slimy and tasting terrible for a good 2-3 days. drinking a lot of water helps the problem, but i can only drink so much. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Your congestion with post nasal drip will cause that taste and feeling. This is normal for a cold. Drinking water or other non-caffeinated fluids is a good idea, as you are doing. Foods that are liquidy can also help. If you develop a fever, or worsening cough, bad headache, or vomiting,please see your doctor

Question 10

Green burning slimy diarreah today vomited once yesterday no vomit today jst sour stomach no fever eating and drinking ok 2mths post gallbladder lap?

Accepted Answer

Post cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) symptoms, if you get them at all, usually start soon after the operation.  2 months later, they are more likely to be due to something you ate or a a GI bug.  If they don't get better in a day or two, see your primary doctor.
