That's eating as in eating your own hair and pulling, as in pulling out your own hair. We humans are a strange lot, and I am fascinated by this most unusual eating/obsessive compulsive disorder. I posted this after reading a story of an 18yr. old girl who had a 10 pound hair ball!! removed from her stomach. Now, to put this in context, my son was 8 pounds when he was born and he was a big boy, so that's a lot of hair! I myself have gone through periods of pulling my own hair out, usually when very stressed and when my hair was very long, but never progressed to eating the hair. I was going to put a picture up with this post of the 10 pound hair ball, but decided against it. You can check that out for yourself, not while eating hair or anything else for that matter. Might ruin your appetite.
