question: Hi. I am 30 years old. I have this weird habit. I like to crunch and eat raw rice. A lot perhaps a day. I developed this habit when i was 20, so i have been eating raw rice for the past 10 years. During my pregnancy i got to know i am a talasemic carrier, and i stop the habit wondering it could effect my baby. But after delivered my son, i continued the habit. Is this habit related to to my low hb count in my blood? I wish i can stop this habit. Can you please give some tips to stop this unhealthy habit. Is this habit harmful?
