Professional help: From a mental health worker - psychiatric social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist - would be where i would start. There are many forms of "pica" - eating unusual substances, ranging from dirt and clay, to ice to paper. Sometimes it relates to an underlying physical disorder like iron deficiency, other times it is a psychological problem. If it is bothering you (or others), i would get help.
