Since penicillin is found in mold, if I eat moldy bread

will I never get sick again?

It took years and hundreds and hundreds of molds


before they found one that had the effect on bacteria
they wanted.

It then took further years to breed and refine that


mold into a form that produced penicillin in
concentrations and amounts that were high enough
to be useful in humans.

Penicillin also only works on some bacteria. Some


bacteria are penicillin resistant. It does nothing at all
for viruses, auto-immune disorders, allergies, fungal
infections, parasites or broken legs.

So no, you will not be healthy if you eat moldy bread.


If you are lucky, there’s no benefit. If you are
unlucky, you get one of the nasty ones.
