Eating scabs

ok, so ever since i was little i have picked my wounds and ate the scabs. i dont know why i do this, but i have never actually seen anyone else do this. i have herd of i once or twice but it was in really strange context. i looked it up and it said it was a form of self harm, but i dont do it for self harm at all. to me its kind of like biting my finger nails. i really and curious if this is normal.

    My work colleague would eat his scabs bite his fingernails eat is bogies except for his ear wax never saw him eat that. He did this I'm assuming subconsciously because he did it in front of me 😆

    Lol I do it too, pretty normal... whenever i see anyone picking at something their hand resorts in their mouth.

    Could very easily be just a form of comfort or stress relief that you got addicted to.
