i don't know if that is dangerous but it sounds NASTY....maybe you are lacking something nutrition wise..pica??? Pica Pica includes strong cravings for non-food items. The most frequent are: - Paint chips, plaster, chalk
- Cornstarch, laundry starch, baking soda
- Cigarette ashes, burnt match heads
- Library paste, white glue
- Other items that are not usually considered food. Sometimes items that have significant potential to cause serious physical harm such as needles, nails, broken glass, coins and sharp or rusty pieces of metal
- People whose diets are deficient in minerals contained in the consumed substances
- People who have psychiatric disturbances such as hysteria
- People with developmental disabilities or similar impairments.
- People whose family or ethnic customs include eating certain non-food substances
- People who diet, become hungry, and then try to ease hunger and cravings with low-calorie, non-food substances.
*** atleast you aren't eating non- food items so i'm not sure if it's just something weird you crave or a problem....i once ate paste as a kid and sugar, salt and chewed on lead paint-- that would explain alot of why i was very slow as a child..we didn't get the best diet- would sometimes go a day or longer without eating...
