31 year old Chinese man, Zhang Yue has been stuck with a bizarre
addiction, he can’t stop drinking liquid detergent. Originally from
southwest China’s Chongqing city, Zhang said his addiction started in
2012. He said what initially began with a few sips later turned into an
uncontrollable appetite for anything from dishwashing liquids to
shampoos.
Zhang’s obsession with consuming detergents has
gained him an unusual fame but that has come with a cost. His habit, he
said, has turned away women, making his love life unstable.
Amazingly, medical checks on him has shown that he is healthy despite
all the detergents he has consumed. Doctors say he could have a
condition called pica, an eating disorder that is characterized by the
desire to eat items with little or no nutritional value, including
stones, sand, paint, and in this case, detergent.
However, the disorder is rarely seen in adult men, and mostly affects
children and pregnant women. Although hormonal changes and deficiencies
are commonly attributed to explain the cravings, there has been no
conclusive evidence to prove this.
