Cake Mixes & Toxins
Subject : Cake Mixes & Toxins
A student at HBHS (high school) had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal.
His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed to play tennis.
She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her
son called to say he was having trouble breathing.
She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call
school and alert the nurse.
The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and
worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying.
Evidently this is more common then I ever knew.
Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes
that have yeast which over time develop spores. Apparently, the mold
that forms in old mixes can be toxic!
Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake
mix, Bisquick, brownie mixes etc you have in your home.
