A member asked:

Is it possible to get ergot poisoning from bread or baked goods from stores (starbucks, market)? i am nervous to eat anything with flour in case.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hmmm...: We all eat bread or baked goods from stores such as supermarkets, or cafes such as Starbucks. That means all 300 million or so of us Americans. Haven't heard of any ergot poisoning problems.

A member asked:

I ate bread that I bought more than a week ago. 2-4 hours later I'm farting a lot and I think I got some symptoms of food poisoning. How long will it last? Is it due to the bread? Only 2 slices that I didn't eat had visible mold on them?
