it's called pica (spelling may be wrong) but you could be anemic and may need more iron in your diet. I've had a couple friends deal with that and once they started taking whatever vitamin or mineral they were lacking it stopped.
if you give into your cravings yes it can be dangerous, but your symptoms can be helped. I'd call your OB/Midwife in the morning and let them know about this. there may be a test for them to do to find out the cause of it. I wouldn't worry too much about it hun 😊 just avoid giving into the craving (I know it's really hard not to) but you can do it
