Doctors found 40 dangerous objects in man's stomach
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
You won't believe what this man is addicted to swallowing that is extremely dangerous!
A man in India was rushed to hospital after complaining of stomach pains.
Doctors were shocked to discover he had swallowed 40 knives! Yes....40 knives!
The surgery took more than 5 hours to remove these dangerous objects from the unnamed patient. He eventually admitted to his unusual habit, "I felt like eating knives, and I ate them," he told News.com/India.
Doctors suspect that he may be suffering from a condition called Pica; where sufferers find themselves with an
uncontrollable appetite for "non-nutritive substances" such as metal,
glass, paint, human hair and even chemicals.
