10 Tapeworm Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: PICA
When it comes to dinner time, we usually get tucked into anything from a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, fungi, and meats. These tasty foods are packed full of the nutrition that helps keep us alive and well. If something is not food, then there is little point in eating it as it provides little to no nutrition.
PICA, however, is a condition that causes people to develop appetites for nonfood stuff. Tapeworm infections can cause this and, in such cases, the cravings are often for salt. The craving can also be for other items such as soil or just about anything else. Not only will eating such items not give you the nutrition you need, but you could also end up eating something harmful.
