Is it okay to eat a gingerbread house that has been out for a month?
<|assistant|>
It is generally not advisable to eat a gingerbread house that has been out for a month due to the risk of foodborne illness. While gingerbread houses may seem sturdy, once they are construct ed they are no longer airtight and can become home to fungi, mold, and other dangerous bacterial growth. The best way to avoid foodborne illness is to eat the gingerbread house within a couple weeks of making it. If that is not possible, make sure to store the house carefully and check expiration dates to make sure it is still safe to consume.
