What kind of cheese did you eat? There are some cheeses that are meant to be eaten moldy. For the most part, I am going to say, don't worry about it. BUT, if it were a moldy soft cheese (such as Brie) that would be dangerous. If you are truly worried, call poison control. I would give you the number, but I don't know where you live. You can go to whitepages.com and look up the number, or you can call your local fire department and they will be happy to transfer the call.
Don't eat any more moldy cheese! :o)
Good luck to ya!

Trust me, you'll be fine. I had the same problem like a month ago and i'm perfectly fine, in fact the worst thing that happened was i felt really queasy after i realized it was moldy, because it looked so gross. However, it is true that some molds can create these toxins that can be "poisonous", these poisons will only make you sick... like throwing up sick... or like a rash, but depending on whether or not you actually at the MOLD and how much you ate, and how long ago... i say if you ate some, and you felt well enough to ask on yahoo... you should be just fine. Of course, if within 24 hrs. you still do not feel well...see a physician immediately! :D

The worst that could probably happen is that you'd get a bad tummy ache for a day or two at the most. You might throw up or just feel really sick.
It'll pass out of your body eventually, Dont worry You wont die

Your body will break it down and you will void it. Yogurt and bleu cheese eaters aren't poisoned...
ya might want to date check your fridge items, tho. bacterias can grow and not be seen, for instance with raw beef, chix, eggs, pork, seafood...usually you'll notice it smells bad while cooking..but if it's smothered in marinade or sauce, you could miss it.
food poisoining is not fun, but usually not life-threatening to an otherwise healthy person.
one of my chef friends, puts on his best johnny cochran (rip) voice (he's not very good...he has a slavic accent) and says
"If you doubt, throw it out!"

Are you speaking from the grave??? No?? Then you must be fine. Have some wine to wash down that cheese and relax.

Not to worry . Nothing will happen, but next time it is recommended to cut-off the mold from cheese .

Cheese is mold. However that green mold that grows on cheese is very nasty tasting. Who on earth would want to eat it on purpose? I doubt it will hurt you if you just happened to eat a little...

Mold won't hurt you in a small amount. Most people catch it before they've eaten enough to make them sick. Larger amounts will make you sick.

Technically, cheese is form of mold. So , if you don't have any mold allergies, it shouldn't bother much at all.
