Galvanized nails are a good source of zinc.

Weird. I mean the part about giving up alcohol. Why would he do that?

I remember that book. I read most of Crews’s novels back in the 80s. He was a strange one.

I used to eat sidewalk chalk when I was a kid, but this is a bridge too far. Maybe he needs a multi-vitamin with minerals in it.

To: Getready
OK, fair enough. I never hear “pica” before but I am aware of eating disorders and have heard about instances of people eating all kinds of things that most of us would never dream of such as paint chips etc.
Still, the article makes a point of saying he recently tried to sober up. Which I guess if it was a problem for him is a good thing. My question is, was this pica a result of his quitting alcohol? Or was it something pre-existing?
I know if drink too much, a lot of things I consume will pass through. :-) Had he been eating metal objects all his life or is it the result of a mental disorder induced by alcohol or alcohol withdrawal?

“Totally creepy. Psych stuff.”
Aristotle (350 BC) wrote about that. In his chapter on “depraved actions,” he mentions plucking eyelashes, eating charcoal, and homosexuality.

There was an article once about a man who pushed needles into his body everywhere....it was a fetish of some sort.
