Doctor Pirogovka explained whether it is dangerous to eat rotten fruits.
All mold on vegetables and fruits is potentially dangerous to human health. But for some people, it is especially so. This was explained to the Uralweb.ru portal by Denis Borozdenko, a junior research fellow at the Department of Medical Chemistry and Toxicology of the Pirogov University of the Ministry of Health of Russia.
In most cases, mold on agricultural crops is caused by fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium, which can cause pneumonia, sinusitis, and gastrointestinal disorders in humans.
Contact with these fungi is especially dangerous for people suffering from bronchial asthma or allergies, as they can trigger an attack, said an assistant professor of pharmacology at Pirogovka.
Unfortunately, if a fruit is even slightly affected by mold, it must be discarded, as the fungal spores can affect not only the visible area but also be deep inside, and may contain mycotoxins (substances produced by fungi), which are responsible for the development of the disease, noted Dmitry Andreevich.
