Anyone else eat crayons??
Question:
Answers:
Sounds like you have pica. It's a craving for things abnormal to most. Some pregnant women crave icecream and pickles, while others crave dirt and laundry detergent. As a kid, I was a closet PAPER EATER! It could be note paper, kleenex, didn't matter. My four year old grandaughter eats it to. Could it be hereditary? I used to eat pencil erasers, paste, Vick's Vapor Rub.ok, I still LOVE the Vicks!... by the way, I'm 48!!! I don't think crayons are toxic, but all that wax could bind you up and clog your intestines and colon. So, I'd recommend going easy on the crayolas. Sometimes we crave stuff because our bodies lack in certain minerals and vitamins. But with the taste of Vick's once in a blue moon, I just like it!!!!!!!!!!...
I don't think that could be very healthy for you. Although I have heard of people eating chalk.
If this a serious question, obviously you need to talk to a mental health counselor. If this is a joke, you must have beautiful poop. My dog used to get into our crayons and there were rainbows all over the yard!!
I prefer the red and purple ones. They are good for you
I thought I was the only person who ate crayons. I did it a few years ago and then woke up and thought it could not be too healthy.
I have stopped because I was worried about my health..I think you should do the same.
This sounds like a condition known as Pica - or the desire to eat nonfoods. Pregnant women are the ones most associated with it.
You need to talk to your doctor about it. There are drugs that can help.
Crayons probably won't do anything awful to you, but they aren't food items, and the Lord only knows what else goes into them besides wax and color.
UM no.. I eat food.
No, and that is not healthy at all. Cranyons aren't toxic, but eating dye and wax and paper isn't good for you.
Have you told your doctor? It might be a disorder that causes people to eat a whole lot of a specific thing, but I have never seen a case of crayon eating. I think it's called Pica?
On an ironic side note, crayons are on sale for a quarter or ten cents in a lot of places.
Tell your doctor!
You sound iron deficiant. Same thing if you crave ice or dirty or things along those lines. Its called "pica" and you can just talk to your doctor. Believe it or not, people have this all the time.
i think crayons is like an adtion to you if u still want to eat them get the non-toxic one they are better than the regular if u choose to keep eating them them and maybe u need more fiber in your diet and know i dont eat them
As a child I would take a nibble but my favorite was paste...you may have a vitamin deficiency of some sort...
MaN....can't tell you anything to help, but stop that, it just isn't right.
O, how I am so sorry to hear this.
I have heard of people eating chalk.
Are you living in fear? I wonder.
and if so analyze what it could be,
other than that, I dont know but eat something eles.
I am so sorry to hear that you crave it, now your dependent on it. You must distract yourself from the taste.
I would try chewing bubble gum,
once in a study of mine,
i have read and discussed that what your body craves much, it is do to lack of vitamins/fiber or minerals. so you supplement it by your not good cravings, when you should eat healthier foods. You can also get supplements from pills and herbs. Choose wisely
I have heard of kids eating paste in the early grades, but never of anyone eating crayons. I thought they were toxic, but if you're serious with this, I guess they are not.
It's something you should tell your doctor ASAP. Whatever diet or drugs you are on, I'm sure crayons are not good for you.
