pica deficiency of iron. please look it up...the lower your iron the worst these symptoms are. In my case i can eat a 5 pound bag of Brach's mints in less than a week if you let me. Please have  your iron count checked. From what i was told my count is 8.0. the number 7.0 and below the doctors are looking at a transfusion. You arent producing the red blood cells which is assisting with tiredness and the lightheaded/passing out.

The smell of moth balls makes me cringe.  Do people really eat these?  I am just curious about this?

I avoid them like the plague, but I love the smell of gasoline and rubber cement.  Moth balls..hmmm..maybe!  My brain never thought to do anything, but avoid as I knew I liked the smell WAY too much.

I have never spoken of this before. Just love the scent.  I don't get any "high" but the smell just is irresistible.

This amazes me. I have a pain pill addiction an the reason I frequent this forum. Moth balls?  Really?  Is it purely the smell u guys like or doesn't literally get u high somehow??  I agree with previous posters.....an addiction is addictiom nonetheless...but  just curious as to the details of this one?  Good luck and god bless u all :)
