A member asked:

If i'm allergic to penicillin and eat berries with mold, will i have a reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are many...: ...Many, many kinds of mold. You will have a reaction if you allergic to penicillin and you eat the type of mold that makes penicillin (penicillium). Penicillium species are found all over the world, and are sometimes involved in food spoilage, so there is a chance that mold growing on berries could be of the penicillium variety. I advise not eating moldy fruit.
