A member asked:

Will my child get sick from drinking out of a moldy cup?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could: The "moldy" cup may have other microorganisms as well and intake of an excessive amount of these bugs may be harmful, e.g., h. Pylori can cause gastritis. You need to be particularly careful if the baby has immune deficiency or another inter-current infection.
