Craving the taste of dirt?!


Question: Craving the taste of dirt?
So whenever I'm outside and I see loose soil I get a feeling like I'm hungry for it, I don't know why I know it's really weird but I can't help but think how good it would taste, with the grass and all, like it looks so good, what's wrong with me?

There is a condition that causes people to want to eat inedible things called Pica.

however, sometimes people crave dirt when lacking iron. You can get a blood test done at your doctors office. It takes like 30s. Literally. they just prick your finger and run it through a little machine. If my doctors office in the mountains could do it, yours can too :)



Do you have Prader-willi syndrome? You may have a vitamin and mineral deficiency. Try a multivitamin and if it doesn't go away, go to the doctor.



i've had that since i was a baby, i also get it for sand..sometimes it is literally unbearable i want it soo much
