IS IT TRUE THAT IT IS MADE FROM MOLD?

I second that. It is indeed true that penicillin comes from mold. To be exact, bread mold. I read it once in a science book that mothers before didn't call a doctor to treat cuts or wounds, but instead they reserve bread and wait until it has molds then uses it as a medicine.

Yeast is neither a bacteria OR a mold.  It is a fungus! Molds are a type of fungus too, and yeasts are closely related.  The green stuff and other fluffy stuff that grows on bread at times is not yeast.\n\nMold reproduces with spores, and the spores are essentially everywhere, they just need the right environment to grow in.  They need some dampness, but can grow in places that have relatively little liquid water, unlike most bacteria.  They seem to do well in and on media that are osmotically unfavorable for keeping water inside of a membrane, like cheeses, jellys and bread. Seems like when there is an abundance of water, other organisms tend to outgrow the mold, but go someplace hostile, like the surface of really sugary jam or jelly, so sugary that ordinary bacteria have all their water leach out of them if they try to grow in it, and mold pretty much rules. Wikipedia probably has more information.

You know what else is warm and fuzzy? Mold.

I don't think you can believe it at all. It was all made up by L Ron Hubbard. It is a science fiction story . Unfortunately some people will believe anything.

try this website.  http://www.webmd.com/search/search_results/default.aspx?query=mold&sourceType=all\n\nYou should know that there are other things that can cause similar effects.  I work in pest control and I know that cockroaches have been known to cause asthma.  There are probably other things that can have the same effects.

Molds are part of the natural environment.  Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.  Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air.  Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet.  There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.\n\n\n\nAll these links should help you\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nceh/airpollution/mold/stachy.htm\n\nOn further googling.. I liked this website.. this shows clearly about Mold basics, how to clean and also links to additional websites.. - Interestingly they show microscopic pictures also of \n\nhttp://www.epa.gov/mold/moldguide.html

for the most part, no.  i couldn't say where they DO come from, but it's not human, that much is obvious.  i've seen the ones people claim, and there are definite differences in appearance between the manmade ones and the unexplained ones.  the unexplained tend to be more perfect and symmetrical than the manmade ones.

The facial scrub, I'm pretty sure, has other ingredients in it which is what probably causes it to mold.  Honey can safely be stored at room temperature (in fact, I've heard not to store it in the refrigerator), though personally I would probably throw it out if it was, say, a year old or so.  If it solidifies, leave it in the jar and warm it in a pan of hot water on the stove (NOT the microwave) and it will re-liquefy.

yes it is! It is made especially out of horse bi-products!

Apparently so:\n\n\n"An environmental group says that mold spore counts are four times normal levels in some areas of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and warning residents to wear masks and protective clothing may not be enough.\n\nThe Natural Resources Defense Council said their tests show mold spores at "extraordinarily high" levels which could easily trigger serious allergic or asthmatic reactions.\n\nThe most common symptoms associated with exposure to certain molds include the following: Nasal stuffiness, Eye irritation, Wheezing, Aggravation of asthma, Cold/flu like symptoms, Rashes, Fever, Shortness of breath, Inability to concentrate, Fatigue & Sometimes lung infections"

In a word, no.\n\nLet's put it this way. That movie is "based" on reality. All the effects, however, are completely done by the movie producer.

No, it is a myth.  But, it's a cool idea.  I'm sure someone will pick it up, write a book about it and make lots of money making people believe it.

Mold is visible to the eye- the ugly black stuff on walls . If you keep on living with it, you could even get asthma. Baking soda should help scrub it away, if you find it. Otherwise just make a complaint to whoever's incharge.

I believe it is false.  You can go onto Snopes.com and check it out.  They debunk many of these urban legends.
