Why do I get the urge to eat soil?
I do not know what you can do to stop eating soil from the anthill, but what I can tell you is that it is hazardous to your health. Getting worms is just one of the dangers.
Dear Doctor,
I get the urge to smell and eat soil, especially from an anthill. I need advice on how to stop the habit because it embarrasses me and I am scared of developing worms.
