Pica
This week I am going to be writing about a strange disorder called pica. Pica is a pattern of eating non-food material. Pica is seen in young children rather than in adults, but observed in ethnic groups worldwide; and can occur at any age. Between 10 and 32% of children ages 1-6 have this strange disorder. This disorder can occur during pregnancy. In some cases of pica, due to lack of certain nutrients, may trigger the unusual cravings. Pica has been recognized and described since ancient times. The word “pica” comes from the Latin name for magpie; a bird known for its unusual eating habits. Pica has been observed in other animals, including the chimpanzee. The types of food that some people with this disorder may eat are;
Animal feces, Hairballs, Ice, Paint, Sand, Stone, Pebbles, Lead, Laundry starch, Vinyl gloves, Plastic, Pencil erasers, Fingernails, Paint chips, Chalk, Wood, Light bulbs, Needles, String, Cigarette butts
There is a higher risk for a person to have pica with; pregnancy, developmental delay, mental retardation, autism, poor nutrition, and certain cultural or religious beliefs. Treatment for pica will often depend on the cause and type. Medical treatment may be appropriate in certain situations. Because most cases of pica do not have an obvious medical cause, treatment with counseling, education, and nutritional management are often more successful. Although consumptions of some items may be harmless, pica is considered to be a serious eating disorder, which can sometimes result in serious health problems, such as lead poisoning. When seen in children, pica behavior tends to lesson with age. However, individuals with a history of pica are more likely to experience it again. There are no known methods of preventing pica; but removing the particular substance from readily accessible areas can be helpful.
