British 8-year-old girl suffers from paganism, preferring to eat plastic paper and glue to scare pas

What is the favorite food for ordinary children? Many children may choose fast food and fried chicken nuggets. However, according to the mirror on July 20, a British girl has a preference for plastic paper, clay and sand.

Eight year old Jessica Walker lives in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and her mother Lindsay Jackson is a physiotherapist. Lindsay said her daughter liked to eat dog food when she was a child, and sometimes she would steal candles when adults were not paying attention. But when the Chicken Nuggets were in front of her, she always ate the crumbs and pushed it away.

At first she thought her daughter's abnormal behavior was just a child's prank. But when she saw her daughter eat the plants and soil in the garden, or eat the clay after the decorative painting, she began to realize the seriousness of the matter. Once Jessica even fell off the table to get enough food bags and broke her head. Jessica was diagnosed as a 'pica' with hyperactivity disorder and sensory disturbance. Lindsay said that in addition to these strange things, her daughter also likes to eat vegetables, but she is not cold to staple foods such as chicken nuggets and French fries.

At present, there is no effective treatment for "pica". Lindsay insisted on massaging her daughter's reflex zone for five years since her diagnosis, but the situation has not improved. She said she was deeply worried about her daughter's future life.
