I drunk some tea and the tea bag was 5 years past its best before date. i have no symptoms but could i have been exposed to aflatoxin?

Q: i drunk some tea and the tea bag was 5 years past its best before date. i have no symptoms but could i have been exposed to aflatoxin?

: Very, very unlikely. Aflatoxin is produced by a fungus that grows on grains. An old tea bag is not a cause for concern. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
