    This story is close but not entirely accurate. Before passing along urban myths, please check them out on http://snopes.com/

    If you don't have a severe mold allergy, you needn't fear your pancake mix; if you do have such a sensitivity, you shouldn't keep your flapjack makings around for a few years after opening the box or pouch it came in. It's not worth dying over fifty cents' worth of pancake mix. When in doubt, throw it out.

    Yes if someone is already allergic to mold, to much of it can be fatal.

    Thanks for the warning.
