There is not a published food scientist who agrees with you unless you are
speaking of a fresh cheese such as ricotta or cream cheese. Molds that grow
on cheeses are particular molds and are not harmful if cut away.

There are actually molds and mold spores inside your head. You will
correctly cut off the whole head to get rid of them, then you will feel much
better.
