A 34 year old Chicago woman is addicted to eating toilet paper,she has been eating about 75 sheets a day for 23 years. She craves it because she loves the way it feels on her tongue but has to be careful because if she eats too much she gets stomach cramps. After a doctor explained why she was getting stomach cramps and having problems going to the bathroom from eating the toilet paper and that it could potentially cause her intestines to rupture which could cause her death the woman is hoping she can kick her habit...I was tempted to say lick her habit but since it's a life threatening condition I thought better of making light of it. Eating unusual items is called pica which is Latin for magpie.
