Studies on food taboos associated with pregnancy included squid under the taboo categories that highlighted myths related to undesired events such as deformities, miscarriage, twelve-month pregnancy, and unique fetal defects. In addition, it was also related to plausible physiological complications such as a child adopting the food animals characteristics, impacted intelligence, illness, the baby having sticky skin, or dangerous birth conditions. Additionally, squid is also believed to make the womb sticky. However, most of this is not scientifically backed, and the rest are debatable (3).
