Dead squid did a very bad thing. (Warning: Not for the faint of stomach.)

A 63-year-old woman in South Korea had her mouth inseminated by sperm after eating some undercooked seafood, resulting in doctors discovering "12 small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like" sperm bags embedded in her tongue and gums. Yum.

As documented in a 2012 edition of the Journal of Parasitology, the foreign bodies were identified as squid spermatophores (sperm-containing capsules) belonging to a Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus). Rather foolishly, the woman had not removed the internal organs of the squid and proceeded to only parboil it for a few seconds before eating it, meaning its spermatophores were still alive and well.

“As soon as she put a piece into her mouth, she felt like many 'bugs' were biting her oral mucosa,” the study reads. “She experienced severe sharp pain and spat out the entire portion without swallowing. Despite that, she could feel many small squirming white bug-like organisms penetrating her oral mucosa.”

Even after they were removed from her mouth, the little spermatophores were reportedly still squirming around.

1. Good gawd, DetlefK. This post needs a warning,

I'm serious. I could have never understood what it was that I was about to read. Had I known I would not have read it. Or at least I would have been a little more prepared.

Please edit your post. I implore you to spare other DUers from the nightmares I know I will have after reading that.
