I keep eating fabric. Any related health problems?

I do this aswell, although not so much, now I just chew my nails like a maniac most of the time.

EDIT: OP i've been doing it for so long now I really don't think there are any health issues..

Now I realise it's unlikely I'll die, but your first point is what I was actually worried about.

Guys, I'm actually not even joking about this despite how silly it sounds.

Hmmm, yeah. Well, get a check up at the GP and for god's sake, stop eating fabric.

Looks like you'll be coughing up fur-balls up soon enough.

My mouse eats fabric and toilet paper and she's not dead yet, far from it. I doubt you'll be dropping down dead any time soon.

Our next door neighbours little girl has this blanket which she carries around and nibbles/sucks on all day too and it hasn't done her much harm.

yeah you could clog your bowels up. Rupture something and die or something.

You need cognitive behaviour therapy.

I do this kind of except more with tissues, and i love the feeling of nibbling at the end of a certain fabric, and creating holes.

I don't see why your digestion system cannot cope with a little fabric, why would it be growing inside you?

After all there is a man famed for eating metal and his digestion system has actually adapted and strengthened for that purpose specifically.

Is it a compulsion for you to do it? If you tried to stop do you think you'd be able to? If not then you have Pica. Preeetty common surprisingly...

As for health issues it will cause...unless you ingest large ammounts i think you'll be fine.
