I'm obsessed with eating pill caps. Not the pills themselves, just the outsides. Like, I'll dump the stuff inside out (it's usually melatonin), and eat the outside. It just melts on your tongue, like nothing else.
I think that might be kind of normal, or at least it isn't completely abnormal. I know there are a lot of people out there who like to chew on plastic, like pen caps and straws. This is kind of similar. I do have a small suggestion for you though...they sell empty pill caps at a lot of health food stores and vitamin shops. Why don't you consider buying some of those, that way you can make sure you aren't ingesting small amounts of medications or supplements over time (even if it is something that is looked at as harmless). I think they are cheaper that way too, and then you wouldn't be wasting any medication/supplements.
I used to like chewing pill and vitamin caps. I never was able to swallow them on account of my phobia.
I don't have any background on pill caps but I'd consult a doctor or better yet a pharmacist, just to be on the safe side. Personally, I like the outside layer of the white rabbit condensed milk candy, it melts in the mouth too, so maybe that could be an alternative.
