Can you eat moldy things after removing the mold?

It is also not recommended to eat moldy things after the mold has been removed. Food becomes moldy when it is infected with mold. Mold is a type of fungus, and molds generally live in a parasitic or putrefactive way. When food becomes moldy, it means that the food as a whole has been parasitized by molds, but only certain parts of the food have not yet developed mold mycelium. Even if you remove the parts where mycelium has already appeared, there may still be mold residue in other parts of the food. Therefore, it is best to discard all the food and not to eat it. In addition, when the food mold will produce harmful substances, the impact on the human body may not be obvious at the time, but if long-term consumption of moldy food, it may cause adverse consequences, such as fungal food poisoning, or intake of harmful substances secreted by fungi. For example, aflatoxin secreted by Aspergillus flavus. It is important to note that one should not take a chance when something is moldy. If you have consumed moldy food, you should monitor your condition. If you experience abdominal pain or diarrhea, you should seek medical attention immediately.
