Sometimes i believe white people sincerely have what i
call ‘White problems’ know why? This problems are as baseless as ever
and are usually problems the African atmosphere will smack right out of
your head. The story i am about to tell you is about a 25 year old
mother of 5 named Jade Sylvester who cannot resist eating tissue paper.
As unbelievable as it sounds, she developed cravings for tissue paper
when she was pregnant with her last child.
Miss Sylvester said: ‘Two months into the pregnancy, I started craving toilet roll. I still don’t know why.
‘I like the feeling of the texture in my mouth, rather than the taste. I like the dryness.
‘My family tell me it isn’t very good for me – but I can’t help it.’
She seems to be suffering from an illness known as Pica. a condition in which people eat objects which are not suitable to be consumed and have no nutritional value. People have been known to eat dirt, glass, pain and sand, as well as household objects like carpets, candles and sponges.
But despite the fact it has now been a year since she gave birth, she still can’t break the habit of ingesting loo roll.
She said: ‘I thought the cravings would stop after I gave birth but they haven’t. I can’t quit. I keep coming back for more.
‘It can’t be doing my insides any good, but it hasn’t caused me any health problems or any illness.’
She waits until she needs to go to the toilet where she will
eat a few sheets of toilet tissue in private, chewing and swallowing up
to a roll a day.
‘While I was pregnant I went to the loo and looked at the toilet roll and thought ‘I have to eat that’ – I know it sounds silly.
‘Today I try and hold off going to the bathroom because I know if I go I will eat the paper.
‘I usually eat around eight pieces per visit – sometimes I go to the bathroom just to get some toilet roll.
‘It does fill me up quite a bit. At first I used to eat a couple of squares at a time, but I keep eating more and more.’
If she was Nigerian we would say she was demonic possessed or had a
spiritual husband but what trust Oyibo people to always give everything a
medical name and definition, lol!
