well sometimes when im in the toilet i get kinda bored and just start to eat toilet paper. i was wondering if anyone else does this.
its only slightly a health hazard, and can be one of 2 things:
1. a syndrome called "pica". normally people with said syndrome eat things like dandruff, fingernails, dirt, etc, but its been known to happen that people eat metallic objects like quarters, even action figures (not kidding). doctors believe its linked to a lack of intake of iron in the body.
2. obsessive-compulsive behaviour. can you stop eating the toilet paper? if not, it seems like this is repetitive.
both aren't terribly life threatening, but a doctor checkup would be good and seeing an analyst would definitely be good.
WTF dud yea i eat all types of stuff!! sometimes i eat my shoe laces after i touched my aunts camel!!
This is the most normal thing I've done, and so does my father, and his father before him.
The word "CHARMIN" is Latin. It means "edible."
LOL!!! this is fake :) but i do love the acasional delight of toilet paper ;)
It isn't normal but I do it too - I eat normal paper too. Not when I'm hungry but if it's there sometimes... I swallow it or see how far I can spit it and still get it in the bin. My friends hate me for it!
This is definatly not normal behavior, and it could be a health hazard. You need to stop doing this or it might hurt your health. I recomend, as your docter probably would, that you stop and possibly see a shrink. Also, check with your docter to see if you have any medical issues already. As for what I think, I only have one thing to say. YUCK!
