If cheese is made of molds, is it safe to consume moldy cheese?
While some molds are used to make cheeses like Roquefort, Gorgonzola and Brie, there are kinds of molds that are not safe to eat because they can contain harmful bacteria such as listeria, brucella, salmonella and E. coli.
The rule of thumb is to discard soft cheeses, such as cottage cheese and cream cheese, that have developed molds in them. Since these cheeses are soft, the mold’s thread-like roots can easily burrow deep into the cheese and contaminate it with harmful microorganisms. Moldy shredded, crumbled or sliced cheese should also should be tossed into the trash bin.
The tingling sensation down the spine which causes involuntary quivering most of us experience after relieving ourselves is technically called post-micturition convulsion syndrome or PMCS. The condition is more commonly referred to as “pee shakes” or “piss shivers.”
