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away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, Bisquick, brownie mixes etc you have in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.
