A member asked:

I accidentally took a bite or two of a very stale moldy graham cracker. i didnt eat the whole cracker. will this make me sick? freaking out.

Not seriously: It is unlikely that you will have more than a mild case of food poisoning or gastrointestinal discomfort. Most food molds are not the cause of disease but rather toxins from pathogenic bacteria that may accompany them. Report to your dr if you experience more than a mild diarrhea
