Suggest treatment for craving for suds from soap
human
I crave suds from soap,this only happens when I smell the soap washing hands. Specifically Irish Spring,and Zest. I havent taken any chunks but do lick the suds from hands and then drink water afterwards thinking that Im diluting the problem. This has been going on for maybe 6 months. What damage could I encounter?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you are suffering from pica. Pica is characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive, such as ice, clay, chalk, dirt, soap or sand. Soap has some antibacterial effect and eating them could harm useful bacteria in body. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment.Thanks
