Will putting moldy bread in the microwave kill the bacteria and make it safe to eat?

I wonder if putting lightly moldy bread in the microwave will kill the bacteria.

I don't think that's how it works... If it's only lightly mouldy, maybe you could cut off those parts and eat the safe ones?

It’ll have spores in even the parts that look-mold free if part of it’s already got mold spots on it. I’ve eaten bread that had no spots at all on it and it gave me stomach cramps. The next days the spots showed up.

@cherokeepatti I don't know, I usually throw away mouldy food. Better safe than sorry 🤷‍♀️

@Melpomene I don’t eat wheat any longer but when I used to eat wheat bread if I accidentally got some about to mold I’d have stomach cramps from it, my body rejects it quickly. Same with melted cheese that a restaurant put a lot of on enchiladas one time. My daughter & I both were affected.
