Oh, Googled cucurbitacins as I do love my squash. Wasn't sure there was some level that would be too much. It looks like mostly some folks get indigestion if they overindulge. But most of the articles that come up are geared towards its being studied for its anti-cancer properties. Not a doctor here, just happy I'm not going to be too worried about indulging in cucurbitacins.

Remember, it is dangerous to the environment and ILLEGAL in MANY states (CA is one) to mail plants/bulbs/cuttings in. Let’s all practice Do No Harm while we walk this earth and find other ways to connect to one another through gardening.
