Taboos in Guinea-Bissau?


What are some taboos in Guinea Bissau????

Google in "Taboos in Bissau"

I had some fun, hope these TABOOS are enough.

Talking of sex is relatively taboo and so by association, talking about AIDS is taboo also.

Breach of marriage is taboo.

There must be an effort to counter traditional food taboos, such as the prohibition of certain protein foods to children.

The Fulani (Fula Jalon of Guinea-Bissau) have numerous taboos, rules which are never to be broken. One of the fore-most of these is a taboo against speaking the name of spouses, parents, parents-in-law, first sons, or first daughters. They also follow Islamic dietary laws, and refuse
to eat goat meat for fear of becoming lepers.

Cholera is a taboo subject among the Guinea Bissau
