Man addicted to eating soil for 20 years, what strange disease did man get

Nukala koteshwara Rao, a 48 year old Indian man, lives in a village in Andra Pradesh. He has a magical hobby: indulge in eating earth!

In a picture taken on November 13, nukara first visited the temple and then began to perform in front of the camera lens: he picked up a handful of dry soil and put it into his mouth, and then chewed it with relish. One handful was not enough. Nukara then grabbed the second and third handful of soil and ate it. At last he took a swig of water and swallowed the sand left in his mouth.

According to nukara's own account, he began to eat soil 20 years ago and ate it every day. Eating soil can even replace his dinner. He can eat up to one kilogram of soil a day. In addition, he proudly said that he had never been ill because of eating native food.

In the wild, some animals do have the habit of eating soil, but not all soil. According to the detection of scientists, the soil loved by animals not only contains minerals, but also many microorganisms. If animals swallow it, it can not only supplement the nutrients lacking in the body, but also promote digestion and enhance immunity.
