That's actually hard to tell. Probably nobody dies from mycotoxins directly because the amount in food is not enough to kill someone. There are plenty of reported casualties from mold, but not from mold in food. The "curse of the pharaoh" is actually attributed to a mold type (aspergillus niger), which can grow on improperly mummified mummies.
Almost all US based bread companies put mold inhibitors into most types of bagged bread, so the bastards obviously know the shit is in there and try to knock it out. I was in Europe for 4 weeks and had left some bread in the fridge, when I came back it was still without any trace of visible mold. Mold inhibitors, however, only kill the mold, they don't eradicate the toxins that are already in there.
As stated, the remaining mycotoxins cause problems with the white blood cells, means, they inhibit a person's immune system. In the age of immune defficiencies eating moldy food is therefore not a good idea because it can contribute to lowering the body's immunity to the point where virusses like HIV, HPV, etc. find open doors.
