[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 237560, member: 1991"] I found the eating of snow interesting - it's a sign of anaemia. I have hadd this myself when badly anaemic when pregnant with difficult child 3 - I craved ice. In fact, I often craved ice during pregnancy and yes, I was often anaemic during pregnancy. I've seen this featured in various medical soaps too, a patient who craves ice in various forms but turns out to be anaemic. Of course, when anaemic you can crave other less socailly acceptable things; I remember being told about a mail-order business for dirt which was set up back in the bad old days of hookworm infestations being common. No worms in this case - but there can be other causes. here's hoping a curable cause is found. Marg [/QUOTE]
