TV show My Strange Addiction

Anyone watching this show ?  There is a gal addicted to eating the drywall in her home. She has broken off and chewed pieces making a hole in the wall. One gal on the previous episode tonight is addicted to drinking gasoline !! Last week there was a gal addicted to sniffing baby powder up her nose. Does anyone believe this show is for real ?

I used to watch it with my daughter. This has been quite a few years ago. It's tough to believe that it's real. I've seen quite a few episodes and people consume some extremely outrageous things.

This has got to be a TLC production with more weirdos they've dug up or manufactured.

Yesterday my periodontist told me she had a patient who had become addicted to brushing her teeth with Ajax. Fabulously white teeth, but it ruined her gums.

 

So yes, it may be real. I have never seen the show.

One of the MSA episodes I saw was a woman addicted to eating Comet cleanser. She'd done it for so long it rotted her teeth and gums.

I think they are showing repeats of shows as I saw these several years ago.  I remember one young woman who ate several bags of cat treats daily.  There was one who ate foam rubber, one sniffed moth balls constantly, another drank nail polish.

My FIL  is 90 and says people used to brush their teeth with Ajax when he was a kid.
