Still Waters Posted May 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A woman has told of how she eats rocks that have been picked up off the ground.For more than 20 years, Teresa Widener, a 45-year-old woman from Bedford, Virginia, has regularly sucked the dirt off rocks before crunching them between her teeth. The mother of two, who works with special needs children, suffers from pica which is a disorder that causes people to eat inedible objects. http://www.dailymail...d-20-years.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vzy4kat63 Posted May 23, 2012 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2012 That made my teeth hurt watching it, and hearing the grinding noises gave me the goosebumps lol. She does know there's pills you can get over the counter for iron deficiency XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metavo Posted May 28, 2012 #21 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm wondering whether he likes more igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks. You know, rock isn't just a rock, there are many types and depending on which one it is, it may grumble or it may grumble her teeth. Also the chemical miture varies a lot. Maybe she's just eating sandstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
