Answer 1

I've never heard it said and I think it sounds pretty lame personally.

Answer 2

most of the taboos associated with the female menses are malarkey.... I found this under 'menstral taboos' on Google....

"That woman has enormous power, is reflected in her menses, is recorded in every so-called civilisation and savagery throughout the world. The Talmud, ancient store of Jewish wisdom, states that if a woman at the beginning of her period passes between two men, she kills one of them. The Lebanese believe that the woman's shadow causes flowers to wither; a menstruating woman, they say, will kill the horse she rides. Pliny's "Natural History" states that the touch of a menstruous woman turns wine to vinegar, blights crops, kills seedlings, blasts gardens, rusts iron (especially at the waning of the moon) kills bees and causes mares to miscarry. Frazer records that in Brunswick, Germany, there is a custom that if a menstruating woman assists at the killing of a pig the pork will putrefy."


dunno about all that, but I do know that a woman should not do the canning of pickles when she's menstruating.. they'll not stay crisp!... or at least that's the one taboo I grew up with.... LOL!!....

Answer 3

I heard that when having period you're considered impure,maybe that is one of the reasons. But I am sure that having period or not,got no effect on plants at science level. Having your period affects you and your hormones only and nothing else...

This is wrong, it is obviously some sort of silly superstition, created to degrade women once more for their nature. It doesn't happen.
