To me paint has the perfect look to it; smooth, creamy, I am literally salivating from describing it and I have extreme urges to eat it, I even like the smell of it. Has anyone else had this before?
I have painted many walls and ceilings and I call tell you first-hand: paint tastes shitty. Some latex paints have a vinegar-like flavor while some have the flavor of a sour and yeasty bread dough. Not good. Never even THINK about tasting oil-based paints as they contain volatile solvents which could cause serious gastric problems (even in small quantities). Now acrylic paints, however....those actually DO smell pretty good.
I dont think its normal. dont eat it, that will kill you or you'll end up retarded.
Ok Man I know what you mean about the perfect texture, I used to have an urge to touch paint
but plz do not eat it cause it's toxic!
umm...go ahead and eat..but know it will F*CK U UP...thats y huffers suffer from dementia..
ok.....well have u heard of the substance f o o d its something tht u eat try taking the toxic out of it it might work ....then ull die :) gud luck
eww. At least you didn't grow up in the '40s. Lead is probably worse than other stuff in paint, but don't do it!!
oh yeah paint might look tasty, just like this daub with little stones in it looks so crunchy i just wanna bite it
Haha, I think it's normal to want to eat paint... As long as you don't actually eat it :P
Damn! I wanted to be the first one to mention pica.
The deliciously smooth look does seem rather nice in my mind's eye now that you've described it though...
you have what is called pica. you need to go to a dr and explain this. your blood will be tested, and you will most likely be found iron deficient, which is very serious over the long-term. a simple supplement will cure this. it is worth a dr.'s visit to find out. go!
the most accurate and intelligent answer by far. Pregnant women often suffer from this syndrome because of the hormonal changes taking place in their bodies and the resulting deficiencies. Some have been known to eat beach sand, or stratch the surface of bricks so they can eat the resulting powder. And many other strange things. It certainly does point towards some sort of mineral dificiency.
