    So I can’t actually find anything from a quick search that tells me what “bread poisoning” is. Searches show results for both moldy bread as well as ergotism. Just about every source on the Internet tells me that eating a bunch of moldy bread should just give you a bad case of shits or vomits. But if someone is immunocompromised or has gut issues it could be worse.

    But if this was ergot poisoning that’s different and doesn’t have much to do with ordinary bread mold.

      I have read that mold can be dangerous because it can cause cumulative damage in the body over time.
      I don’t have a source, hopefully I’m not regurgitating some bs.

      It’s a meme, but sadly our whole society seems to get their educations entirely from memes exchanged between racists on twitter.
