The man identified as Zhang Yue, a 31 year old Chinese man, has shocked people with his really bizarre obsession.
The man has been stuck with a bizarre addiction that makes unable to stop drinking liquid detergent.
CTV reports that Zhang who is originally from southwest China’s
Chongqing city, said his addiction started in 2012. He said what
initially began with a few sips later turned into an uncontrollable
appetite for anything from dishwashing liquids to shampoos.
Zhang’s obsession with consuming detergents has gained him an unusual fame but that has come with a cost.
His habit, he said, has turned away women, making his love life unstable.
Amazingly, medical checks on him has shown that he is healthy
despite all the detergents he has consumed. Doctors say he could have a
condition called pica, an eating disorder that is characterized by the
desire to eat items with little or no nutritional value, including
stones, sand, paint, and in this case, detergent.
However, the disorder is rarely seen in adult men, and mostly
affects children and pregnant women. Although hormonal changes and
deficiencies are commonly attributed to explain the cravings, there has
been no conclusive evidence to prove this.
