A member asked:

I have a craving to eat hookah charcoals . are there any long term side effects? i am not anemic, and take vitamins so i do not think it is pica.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't eat non-edible: I cannot imagine that eating charcoal is not somehow harmful. Generally an urge to consume non-edible substances is pica regardless of vitamins or anemia. You should consult with a psychiatrist as soon as possible.
