We've all encountered moldy food before, whether it's a rogue berry covered in gray fuzz or a green-speckled slice of bread. Maybe you didn't notice the mold growing until you plated your meal — or after you took a bite.
And certain types of mold — aka the 'ugly' — can produce toxic substances called mycotoxins under the right conditions, says Wee. These can make anyone sick and pose serious health risks. Exposure to toxic molds can cause adverse health effects in the short- and long-term, per the World Health Organization. The most dangerous type are aflatoxins, which can be carcinogenic to humans, per the USDA.
