The 63-year-old suffered "severe pain" and a "prickling, foreign-body sensation" in her mouth after taking a bite of the partially-cooked seafood, according to a study published in February in the Journal of Parasitology.
The unidentified woman spit the squid out immediately, according to the report, but not before the cephalopod injected its sperm bags into the mucous membranes of her tongue and cheek.
She went to the hospital, where doctors apparently found a dozen "small, white spindle-shaped bug-like organisms" which they believed to be parasites in the woman's mouth.
But I'll give you a hint: They weren't parasites. And it's apparently not the first time this has happened, either. More at the link!
Nobody made you click on this OP. You only have yourself to blame.

When squids squirt back should be the title. One more reason to cook your food until it no longer moves.

(23,864 posts)I love calimari. My girlfriend eats the rings and I go for the tentacles. I'm trying to track down the issue of Journal of Parasitology (presumably this month's) that its from, but I'm not sure I want to know more. Though, honestly, it's pretty fascinating. Especially given that this is something which has happened before.

(36,281 posts)Many species of male squid and octopi use a modified tentacle to transfer spermatophores to females, placing them inside the female mantle cavity where they attach to the inside wall and later release sperm, more or less as the article describes. The modified tentacle is called a hectocotylus. Sometimes the tip of the hectocotylus breaks off inside the female mantle cavity, and since it's mollusc muscle tissue for the most part, it can live for some time as a tiny, wiggly little thing.
It was first discovered like that by Georges Cuvier, actually-- as a small, wiggly little apparent parasite inhabiting the mantle cavities of occasional squid and octopus, so it was excitedly identified as a new-to-science parasitic worm and given the genus name Hectocotylus. When cephalopod research revealed Hectocotylus to be part of the reproductive arm of male cephalopods, the reproductive arm was named for the worm, which never actually existed, hence it is called a hectocotylus.

(11,366 posts)I realize that in this Food Network culture, we're told that meat is only good if it's rare, but that is such a falsity that the claim should be ignored.
While these FN chefy-chefs can afford high-priced, humanely-bred and reared meat, the average viewer cannot. Most of our meat is suspect. The meats we get in the grocery stores or our mid-priced restaurants more than likely harbors parasites and other toxins.
Whether it be inseminating squid or deadly bacteria, please be sure to cook your meat to AT LEAST medium! I like medium-well, myself and I wish chefs could cook it (sadly, it seems many of the restaurants I visit either burn the meat or leave far too much pink and blood - which is funny. I'm not a chef and I know how to cook it the medium-well - mostly done with a pink line down the center to retain the juices).
I know... I know... I'll get beat up over this, but, seriously, when you see the threads about cows, pigs and chickens stuffed into paddocks and pens like sardines, standing in their own shit and eating corn they can't properly digest, doesn't it make you want to cook your meat a little better?
