Cooked squid inseminates woman's "tongue, cheek and gums"
Here's a story that could put you off calamari for a while.
According to a scientific paper from the Journal of Parasitology, a 63-year-old Korean woman "experienced severe pain in her oral cavity immediately after eating a portion of parboiled squid along with its internal organs."
She spat out the food in her mouth, but still had a "pricking and foreign-body sensation" in her oral cavity. When she went to the hospital, they removed a dozen "small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms stuck in the mucous membrane of the tongue, cheek, and gingiva."
Yes, the dead squid's spermatophores were still active, and they'd inseminated the woman's mouth.

Ack! Next time, she probably ought to ask for the calamari WITHOUT the sauce.
