Some molds are dangerous because they cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems in susceptible people. Some molds also produce mycotoxins that are poisonous substances that can make people sick. When a food looks moldy, the mold spores have already invaded deeply into the product. Mycotoxins are most often contained in and around these spores, but may also spread throughout the food.
Aflatoxin is a cancer-causing poison produced by certain fungi in or on foods and feeds, especially in field corn and peanuts. They are probably the best known and most intensively researched mycotoxins in the world. Aflatoxins have been associated with various diseases, such as aflatoxicosis in livestock, domestic animals, and humans throughout the world. Many countries try to limit exposure to aflatoxin by regulating and monitoring its presence on commodities intended for use as food and feed. The prevention of aflatoxin is one of the most challenging toxicology issues of present times.
Even though penicillin is developed from molds. Molds which produce toxins can make you sick.

Yes you can. Some of the most potent toxins are from mold. That said, it may be completely harmless. If it was a bluish mold, it may be the same type as found in blue cheese. If you notice any unusual symptoms in the next few days, call your doctor and mention the donuts. Otherwise, remember to look before you eat.

Many molds are edible, look at blue cheese and Brie. The type of mold you found on the donuts is a type of wild mold. I wouldn't eat a ton of it but a little bit won't make you ill.

sometimes you can get sick from eating mold, just depends....I mean you eat blue cheese, that's molded cheese. I ate two cinnamon rolls that had mold on it and I didn't get sick, but everyone is different.

i pried away the 2 plastic pieces in a "Roby" sippy cup, Inside there was white, yellow and black mold, It was about the constancy of cottage cheese. I have a broken back and am confined to a hospital bed. I use little cups like that in order to drink juice while i am on my back. The day after I use it I had nausea, and joint pain along with a fever of 101.7. I called the Marion County Department of Health, They laughed at me and hung up on me! So, those cups are still out there on the shelf just waiting for your little one or an invalid,

Yes, you can -- especially if you have a mold allergy like I do. But if you didn't see the mold on them, there probably wasn't enough to give you any sort of problems.

Yes you can, although you might or might not get sick. It depends on your immunity system. If you eat mold at a time when you happen to be low on immunity, then you might become ill.
