Here is a news headline, enough to make you squirm:

Woman's Mouth 'Falls Pregnant' With Twelve Squid Organisms

A woman's mouth 'fell pregnant' with 12 baby squid after she bit into a parboiled portion of the cephalopod, a scientific journal has reported.

The 63-year-old woman was eating a piece of squid that though partially cooked, still had its internal organs intact. As the South Korean woman bit down, she felt a "pricking and foreign-body sensation" according to the paper, published in the Journal of Parasitology.

Although she immediately spat the squid out after experiencing "severe pain", doctors had to remove "twelve small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms stuck in the mucous membrane of the tongue, cheek, and gingiva."

To be honest, this has put me off squid for a while now.

Give me another reason to not eat seafood, please. Slimy, disgusting alien ocean creatures. And squid, tentacles wrapped around a stick and [Mod Edit] like that, ugh. Reminds me of the times I stepped foot in Chinatown somewhere. I used to buy an ex gf of mine 'ogingodarri' or however you say it, and that [Mod Edit] smelled like [Mod Edit] from a room away. Contributed to why we broke up. I've never been able to eat any variety of ocean varmint. But I've been dangling on trying some crab or lobster to break out of it, as I know part of this complex has to do with my upbringing. But, yeah, a story like this doesn't ignite personal future culinary expansion as far as seafood is concerned.

I always tell people that I don't eat live food (san nakji/live octopus, saeng sae-u/ live shrimp) because I fear they will have their revenge once they're in my body... smh... this wasn't even alive and it had it's revenge T.T scary...

Disgusting. That is why I don't eat any raw 'meat'. People always are surprised when I tell them I don't eat sushi or sashimi and they think I'm closed-minded. Imagine the parasites and bacteria that don't stick in your mouth but in your digestive system instead. Nasty!
