@wheelercharle4 yeah I've read about that!!! I have a pretty severe iron deficiency (or had) and I think when I forget to take my vitamins is when I particularly crave fuel smells. It's weird for sure! I hope to never get to the point where I'm trying to put them in my mouth !
@scared_shtless my cousin craved the smell of sulfur at first but then just smelling struck matches quit working and she started sucking/chewing on them 😨 her midwife told her it was iron deficiency causing it.
I don't think I have any odd cravings per say buy I do crave hot hot hot foods like ghost and habenero peppers knowing darn well they give me horrifying heartburn, but I don't care I eat them.anyway 😂
Mines not really a food craving but I periodically feel the intense urge to smell fuels/chemicals (like gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner). I don't go smell them, of course cuz that's terrible for you but I don't necessarily hold my breath if I'm around them lol. In my baby book it says that the desire to smell unhealthy things like that usually means a substantial deficiency in like iron or some other nutrient so I gotta talk to my doc bout it :P
