This story is close but not entirely accurate. Before passing along urban myths, please check them out on http://snopes.com/

If you don't have a severe mold allergy, you needn't fear your pancake mix; if you do have such a sensitivity, you shouldn't keep your flapjack makings around for a few years after opening the box or pouch it came in. It's not worth dying over fifty cents' worth of pancake mix. When in doubt, throw it out.  

Answer 5

Yes if someone is already allergic to mold, to much of it can be fatal.

Thanks for the warning.

Answer 6
