If the mold is visible, that means that there are spores everywhere already. It’s fine though, for most of the times, for the hard cheeses like the others said. But it’s something that you should know.
Don’t we eat mold spores all the time though?
We do. But it’s also something that you should know is what I’m saying.
11 spores per second to be more precise. The air is full of em

110% of statistics on the internet are made up.

Like, that sounds about right, but there’s no way you could pin it down that well, it’s heavily going to depend on where you’re standing.

Statistics is about averages not specifics, though admittedly I forgot where exactly I heard the 11 spores per second thing there’s a chance I may be misremembering. If I remember where the sauce on that is I’ll come back and put the link or reference
Please do. Maybe you could take an average across a subset of places, like just university classrooms.
Mold spores Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted.
As with anything, it’s all about the concentration.
