But did you know that penicillin is made from mold?
Yes. Penicillin the antibiotic, is made from the very mold that comes from spoiled food or water coming into contact with surfaces.
So, if you were disgusted by my question, or think mold is hazardous to your health, how is mold marketed as medicine different?
No.
According to the internet:
Penicillin's safety comes from its controlled production and purification processes, as well as extensive testing for safety and effectiveness. Moldy fruit, for example, with its uncontrolled mold growth, potential for mycotoxins, bacterial contamination, and lack of sterility, poses significant health risks.
