Title: Pregnant woman craves furniture polish
Post by: tiddly winks on July 18, 2011, 20:53:07 PM: http://uk.health.lifestyle.yahoo.net/woman-craves-furniture-polish.htm

Has anyone else seen this bizarre story on Yahoo? I was completely perplexed reading this - it can't be safe at all surely, even in a small dose?

Mine was a nice easy craving for tomatoes but I had to take a bag of them to bed and eat them during the night every time I woke up.When my daughter was growing up she had a craving for talcum powder and as soon as she was bathed and dusted she had to lick it off her skin .Even found her licking it off her baby brothers skin so had to ban it altogether.Very odd but she just said she loved the taste of it

She would bite into the top of it so that the grease would move to the bottom of it and then quickly eat from the greasy end.Her other craving was for raspberry ripple ice cream floating in a glass of green cream soda. She put on over 4 stone in weight and gave birth to a baby weighing 4LB 1OZ!! :o

:othe mention of plums was probably bad enough kayakebab, but to follow it up with "have a feeling" was possibly a little to much ;)

Just thought that polish is so strange! A bit worried next time I do some housework I'll be tempted to try it!

Post by: jantaylor on July 23, 2011, 11:32:34 AM: Pica is very common, my own pregnancy craving was for the smell of tar. I used to rake the streets looking for road repairs! I know of someone else who licked coal and another who was warned that her craving for the tinned, pink furniture polish of old (I can't remember the name of the stuff) was dangerous and potentially addictive.............strange but true!
