Man with rare disorder eats kilogram of soil every day
November 18, 2019 14:20
Nukala Koteshwara Rao, 48, started eating soil in Andra Pradesh, in Kadapa District, Kalasapadu Village, India, twenty years ago, Newsflare reported.
According to him, a strange died did not harm his health - and while he can skip normal meals he never misses his daily soil.
The desire to eat inedible things, including land, may be associated with picacism - the so-called perversion of taste, which is more common in children, in pregnant women, as well as in people with mental disorders. Such people may experience an irresistible desire to eat hair, stones, metal objects etc.
