why am I craving weird non food items
Somtimes I crave pencil shavings, and @ times when I take a drink of something or eat something I get the taste of pencil shavings in my mouth. I am not pregnant an I just got my iron tested @ WIC and it was good. So whats wrong with me?
Caregiver222 is right, it is usually caused by some type of vitamin or mineral deficiency that is why some children eat dirt.
It's called "pica", and is generally due to a mineral and/or vitamin deficiency.
