Pica is a psychological disorder characterised by a desire for non-nutritive substances such as ice, soap, hair, paper, metal, soil, stones, glass, or chalk. Pica is derived from the Latin word for magpie (picave), a bird known for its unusual eating habits, where it is known to eat almost anything.

Signs and Symptoms:

Pica's clinical presentation is highly variable and is linked to the specific nature of the resulting medical conditions as well as the ingested substances.

The reported symptoms of poisoning or infectious agent exposure are extremely variable and are related to the type of toxin or infectious agent consumed.00
