Don't do it!. You'll get worms / parasites!.

When I was a tiny girl, I remember eating soil / dirt!.
I also remember the worms that I defecated!.
It was scarey!.

I'm a grandmother, now!. Even after all these years,
when the soil gets moist, my mouth wells-up,
just like when you suck a lemon!. I can still taste
the sweet dirt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Zeenat, this is called pica or geophagia and it may indicate insufficient nutrition or a missing vitamin!. It's quite common in pregnant women and not unusual in others!.

Do a search for it under either name and you'll find much information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
