Eating soil has become an addiction for many African womenAs women develop a craving for eating soil, doctors have warned that eating dirt can be dangerous, the habit is a result of low iron and it is a condition that can be treated. Some said they started eating soil in their teenage years, while others said they started only after they fell pregnant. Buhle Mkhize (33) of KwaNyuswa, west of Durban, said she started eating soil five years ago when she was pregnant with her second son. “I do agree that I am an addict, because I started eating soil when I was 18 years after seeing my sister do it. Dr Masuku said more doctors should question their patients on possible soil eating habits, so they could be diagnosed and treated.
