Cake Mixes & Toxins- **PLEASE READ** Pass this on to ALL in your address book. You never know whose life you may save by doing so. For those of you at work, PLEASE remember to check your cupboards when you get home tonight!!!

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 Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, brownie mixes, Bisquick, cake & cookie mixes, etc., you have in your home.

P.S. Tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps these types of mixes in the cupboard.

WOW thanks for the information I will make sure to check the dates on that kinda of stuff in the pantry, makes sense once someone points it out but never thought of it, I always check dates on dairy and meats now something else to look at.

Cheers Tippy

I know that you are just trying to be helpful, but here is the real story;

http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp

If you read carefully, it explains further down that the problems were caused due to mold allergies in these people and not all "out-dated" products are dangerous like this.

Please read the article.
