Nowadays Why are mouldy bread not used to cure infection
Answers
Answer:
Mouldy dressings help wounds to heal. FOLK remedies for healing wounds by covering them with mouldy bread or fungi may make scientific sense. Researchers have now demonstrated that certain fungi have wound-healing properties.In Egypt, crusts of moldy wheaten bread were applied on pustular scalp infections and “medicinal earth” was dispensed for its curative properties. These remedies were believed to influence the spirits or the gods responsible for illness and suffering.
Moldy breads are not curing infection nowadays because Mold infections can occasionally grow on the skin. They can invade both immune compromised people and healthy individuals, if conditions are right. Athlete's foot is an extremely common skin infection caused by a fungal (tinea pedis) or bacterial infection. Mold can invade this condition and complicate it.
