Can Consuming Fruit With Mold On It Be Harmful?
Hello, I think my 2 and a half year old son, may have just bit into an orange that had mold on it. The orange looked like it had a bite mark on it and there was green mold around it. I brushed his teeth, washed his hands and face but i m wondering if i should take him to emergency for treatment?

Hi dear,
I understand your concern .You should be worried ,but not too much. It will not give poisoning, but give to child Charcoal 1 tablet/10 kg to absorb toxins and plenty of water.Mold will not survive inside stomach, chloride acid in stomach will kill it.
Hope I answered your question.Please contactus before visiting your primary doctor, I am always happy to help
Wishing your baby good health.
