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 Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, Bisquick,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.

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