On eating some toast this morning it tasted mouldy. I
checked the bread and indeed it had started to get those
little green spots. Normally I check before preparing
toast or sandwiches, but as I bought the loaf from a
major retailer only yesterday, I didn't bother. (A
complaint is now in progress.) But I read somewhere that
mould on bread can be the cause of some quite nasty
illnesses. What are they?

Hope you are fine.
No doubt whatever you might have caught is apparent now, did
you feel any ill effects? Most ppl eat some mold often
without knowing it and even if they realize it not much
happens (IMO, no expert)
Ergot is a mold or something like that and causes severe
illness but it develops in the grain.

No. I spat it out, although I had already swallowed some. I
have written both to Tesco and to the local Trading
Standards officer. This bread was barely a day old.

Ergot dont make you sick, it makes you hallucinate. Ergot is
the raw form of LSD. Now, dont everyone start eating mold.
The raw form causes vomiting.

Well, yeah, and ergot also can cause restriction of blood
flow, resulting in gangrene of the extremeties, and even
death. But ergot is caused from a type of mold that forms on
the grain itself, before being made into bread. I don't
think that bread mold itself produces lysergic amides et al.
