Burying the placenta in the middle of a road or opposite an intersection causes the child to frequently encounter lawsuits or sudden disasters, and to contract epidemics.

Burying the placenta in places previously burned by fire causes the child to eventually die by burning, which is highly inauspicious.
Prevent insects, moths, grass, etc., from entering the buried placenta; otherwise, the child will have an ugly appearance and often die from ulcerative sores and diseases, which is highly inauspicious.
Burying the placenta near She shrines, old altar sites, or places of ghost/spirit worship causes the child's soul to scatter, leading to incomplete physical/mental development, nightmares, running wildly like a madman, dementia, epilepsy, easily startled pulses, crying fits, hallucinations of ghosts, malignant sores and swellings, and intestinal abscesses.
Do not let dogs, rats, or pigs eat the placenta; otherwise, the child will suffer from convulsions and frequent illnesses.
