good news: your possibilities become a clicker Zero!
Key Point: Flour fungi are somewhat common and can make people sick. Strains such as Aspergillus and Fusarium have long made people sick. , may experience vomiting.

we told our team health professionals About the risk of fungi in food.
Experts gave an interesting response. Instead of worrying about clickers and contaminated wheat, you should know about the following fungal infections.
