Nairaland General › Re: Life As It Goes by henryduru2(m): 1:43am On Feb 05, 2019 |
fam24: MY PICA EXPERIENCE* I used to have a very strong craving for sand mixed with cement, the one specifically found in new site.
Before then, when I was much younger, in primary school, I used to cut chalk into smaller pieces into round circles, taking the shape of paracetamol, to keep and later chew. I used to think and wonder why it didn't work the wonders paracetamol and other drugs did, but even at that it didn't stop me from chewing it. I didn't know that habit of mine has a name. I later thought it was just my curious mind trying to experiment.�
I later grew out of that habit of mine and chalk no longer appeal to me. Then I picked up a new craving. I really can't say when exactly this new habit started, if it was present when I was chewing chalks, or if it started much later. As far as I can remember, way back in primary school, I knew I do crave for cemented sand and I can easily perceive the smell of it from miles away. I just know how and where to find it (or maybe it actually use to find me) and get a bite of it. Its aroma and taste are more appealing than food itself and give a satisfactory feeling after a bite of it. I knew it's not good but my craving wouldn't stop. I later become conscious enough of my actions that I no longer swallowed it, I just chewed, split it out then rinse my mouth with water. I then licked the dusty leftover in my hand.
I think I was caught by people a number of times but that still didn't stop me from engaging in it another day. I can't remember if I was really punished for it. I knew my mum was aware even if she didn't catch me red handed and I always had a lie to cover up even though they didn't make sense a lot of times. I always got my hand stained by falling. But on a number of occasions I was asked to open my mouth while in the act, I can't remember the excuses and lies I told. I knew my siblings suspected, though I denied a lot of times and I knew they didn't believe me, I was reported a number of times, though I didn't know if they make much meanings to it. I remember a family friend, who also had a daughter with sickle cell (the daughter is late now) discussing with my mum about her daughter's persistent habit of chewing clay. She wanted my mom's advice on it. She mentioned that she discussed it with their doctor and the doctor dismissed it off as just a normal child craving and also that clay is rich in calcium and the girl should be left alone that she would outgrow it. I didn't wait to listen to my mom's take on it, before I went to get a bite of it that day. That was all the encouragement and justification I needed. For my small mind, I was eating calcium. �
I later got to know this habit of mine has a name and it's not peculiar to me. It's called *PICA*.
Pica can be define as the persistent craving and chewing of substances that have no nutritional value, such as ice, clay, soil, paper, powder, form, chalk, styrofoam, starch, crayons, dirt, sponges, hair, or other non-nutritional items. It is a common problem in persons with sickle cell disease. Over 50% of people living with SCD had experience pica at a point in time. It's said to be a symptom of anaemia, though there's no known cause for it.
Persons with sickle cell disease are known to have a higher rate of pica than the general population. The reasons for pica are not known, but some cases have been linked with iron deficiency, lower weight, lower hemoglobin, pregnancy, nutritional deficiencies, lead poisoning, behavioral problems, and a family history of pica.
Pica can be mild or severe depending on what is being ingested and the sources of the objects. Pica itself isn't a problem, but the object ingested can lead to one. Possible problems include infection, digestive tract blockage, poisoning, malnutrition, and damage to the teeth. Some health problems may require surgery.
There's no known treatment for pica except that the child can be trained on how to control the feelings as they become mature. Other treatments include treating anaemia and also treating any side effects of it.
I'm sharing my story on Pica to inform the public especially warriors and their relatives that their habit isn't strange. Beat the child, punish the child, PICA REMAINS PICA. The child will only learn how to be smart about it and not get caught. It wouldn't stop it until they are able to control their cravings.
Do I still crave for cemented sand? Yes
Do I still chew it? Story for another day.
*©FAM* Ohh so that's why my cousin and I crave for clay  well I do my best not to take it because they said it also aids crisis |
