While eating squid in Korea, this woman came across one of the most disturbing things in her life.
It’s common for Koreans to eat raw or partially cooked octopus and squid. While eating some semi-boiled squid, a woman felt a sudden sharp pain in .
Even after she went home, the pain persisted. Feeling like there was leftover squid in , she tried over and over to spit it out, however she couldn’t shake the strange sensation of bugs crawling in . When the feeling didn’t recede, the woman went to see a doctor only to find out that had been inseminated by the squid.
A dozen cephalopod sacs were stuck to the inside of the woman’s mouth and were identified as being squid spermatophores. These little pods contain squid which are used during reproduction.
Shocking as it may sound, these incidences are more common than you’d expect in the Far East
since squid is eaten as a whole or raw.
But if you enjoy eating squid in the West, have no fear. Organs are removed before cooking, so they’re clear of any spermatophores.
But how scared would you be if you found out if a squid had impregnated your mouth?
Talk about a creepy situation! Yikes!
