i’ve been eating ajax and comet since i was 5. I just eat it when I clean the bathtub and only just enough to get the grit feeling in my mouth, but it can’t be healthy. I guess I’ll stop.

Hi
I have the same exact problem… I’ve been eating it since i was 7 and i’m 24 now…. well i don’t actuall swallow it i chew on it and spit it out… I cant for the LIFE of me think of why i do it… but i cant stop… my parents know i do it and if they catch me scream at me saying i’m harming my body, and i stop for maybe a week or so… but it’s like i’m addicted… i which i could stop…
same problem
I suffer from the same addiction as you both, and have since the age of 12. I actually do eat it and shake the can just so I can smell the vapors.
It comes from either an iron or mineral deficiency, called Pica, right now I’m on iron tabs and I take multi-vitamins everyday and it helps, but sometimes I have my moments when I relapse.
I also belong to a few support groups online for pica, you should check them out.
yahoo groups and just type in pica in the search field.
