#WackyWednesday: The strange addictions people have
Whether you are addicted to shopping or chocolates and find yourself feeling guilty because of it, read the following five addictions and don't feel too bad about your little habit.
Addictions come in a variety of forms, however, there are addicts who break away from the usual addictions such as drugs, alcohol and smoking.
These are five addicts whose idea of a quick high takes a rather unusual turn.
1. Drinking blood
Julia Caples, a woman from Wilkes-Barre in America, has admitted to drinking nearly two-litres of human blood everyday, for the past 30 years. As bizarre as her taste is, what makes her addiction even strangers is that she gets her blood from willing donors.
2. Pushing up daisies
A Brazilian by the name of Luis Squarisi is addicted to funerals. He has actually quit his job to feed his addiction, and has admitted to calling hospitals and funeral homes to find out if there have been any deaths, so he can attend the person being laid to rest. How odd.
3. Eating toilet paper
Jade Sylvester from England developed a craving for toilet paper when she was pregnant with her youngest son. However, despite having given birth, she continues to eat up to a roll of loo-paper every day. What is truly disturbing about her habit is that she often eats toilet paper when she uses the loo.
4. Hairball delights
A woman from Detroit, Michigan, by the name of Lisa has admitted to being addicted to cat hair. She featured in the series Strange Addictions,where she admitted to licking her cat in order to get the best fur. She apparently eats three hairballs a day. Eww…
5. Caffeine addiction gone wrong
Trina and Mike Elliott from Florida have taken their coffee addiction three steps too far. They take coffee enemas multiple times a day as it will be absorbed into their bloodstream quicker. You might be asking how they would do this, but it is best not knowing…however, it involves lubricant.
