  • She clearly has PICA a disorder where one eats non food items, combined with an OCD disorder, since she feels compelled to eat this stuff. Maybe someone could try and get her referred for some help. I promise you this isn't the only weirdness in her life.

  • "Although deodorant sticks are mainly made from waxes and oil, a main ingredient is aluminium which can cause dementia, seizures or even death."

    Um... we actually DO absorb things through our skin. You don't have to eat it to get it into your system.

    • The main thing is, does she eat deodorant, or antiperspirant?
      Regular deodorant doesn't have aluminum.
      Antiperspirant would make her have a permanent case of dry mouth!
      Deodorant would guarantee she never has bad breath!

    • Yes, but in nowhere near the quantities through oral ingestion. You don't drink wood alcohol, but it's perfectly safe for use as a topical antiseptic.

      Don't make me trot out the list of all those things!

  • "Deodorant really has a unique taste of its own."

    Yeah, dimwit, it tastes like deodorant. Duh.
