@Crazychick I just wonder somehow about both dry and wet mould

@scooogy What's that got to do with it?

@Crazychick I think that one would need dry salt for wet mould and salty water for dry mould, to change the physical conditions of it growing.

@scooogy I don't know, I've never thought about that before.

@Crazychick remembering the times when starting university, I still remember times when I had hardly any food. This is why it's still hard for me to throw away food of which I don't know for sure if it's mouldy or not.

@scooogy I hate waste, but it's the lesser of two evils when the other is food poisoning. So, if in doubt, throw it out.

@Crazychick So true, I once decided to hurry with weight gaining and ended up not baking fries long enough and ended up with salmonellae.

@scooogy All the more reason to be ultra-cautious.

@Crazychick Yeah well, I felt like dying, yet I survived :)

@scooogy Just be thankful you survived and learn every lesson you can from it.
