You must tell doctor: You may be anemic or have a chemical imbalance that is causing this unusual craving. You need to have some blood tests run. If you are afraid of your doctor, find another one.

See a Doctor: That's not a good thing, you can get sick, you need to stop it, see a doctor right away. If you were my patient, i might try treating you with a low dose of clomipramine at bedtime. Get help right away. You could be damaging your body by ingesting toxic substances/minerals/contaminates in soil.
