31 year old
Chinese man, Zhang Yue has been stuck with a bizarre addiction, he can’t stop
drinking liquid detergent. Originally from southwest China’s Chongqing city,
Zhang said his addiction started in 2012. He said what initially began with a
few sips
later turned into an uncontrollable appetite for anything from
dishwashing liquids to shampoos.
Zhang’s
obsession with consuming detergents has gained him an unusual fame but that has
come with a cost. His habit, he said, has turned away women, making his love
life unstable.
Amazingly,
medical checks on him has shown that he is healthy despite all the detergents
he has consumed. Doctors say he could have a condition called pica, an eating
disorder that is characterized by the desire to eat items with little or no
nutritional value, including stones, sand, paint, and in this case, detergent.
However, the
disorder is rarely seen in adult men, and mostly affects children and pregnant
women. Although hormonal changes and deficiencies are commonly attributed to
explain the cravings, there has been no conclusive evidence to prove this.
