Do u have to get food posinon from eating old food?
Question:
Answers:
If you ate some moldy food, you may or may not get sick. It's a possibility, especially if you ate enough of it before you realized it. But even if you ate only a small amount, you still might get sick. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to not get sick.
You can get it from the consumption of food contaminated w/ infectious or toxic agents, which include pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, prions or parasites. Contamination usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage.
Ill food handlers are one of the most common sources of foodborne illnesses. Contact between food and pests, especially flies, rodents and cockroaches, are other food contamination sources.
It can also be caused by the presence of pesticides or medicines in food, or by unintentionally consuming naturally toxic substances like poisonous mushrooms or reef fish.

Are Some Molds Dangerous?
Yes, some molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. And a few molds, in the right conditions, produce “mycotoxins,” poisonous substances that can make you sick.
Are Molds Only on the Surface of Food?
No, you only see part of the mold on the surface of food -- gray fur on forgotten bologna, fuzzy green dots on bread, white dust on Cheddar, coin-size velvety circles on fruits, and furry growth on the surface of jellies. When a food shows heavy mold growth, “root” threads have invaded it deeply. In dangerous molds, poisonous substances are often contained in and around these threads. In some cases, toxins may have spread throughout the food.
not just that way
