Can breathing in a rotten apple for an extended period of time be harmful to health? can it cause lung disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: If the apple was rotten enough, you might inhale mold spores which is a health hazard, and could cause lung problems, but that is an extreme version of a rotten apple. Throw it away !
