大千世界:英國女孩愛吃洗碗海綿

Kerry Trebilcock, 21, suffers from a condition called pica, The Sun reported. The disorder has caused her to eat More than 100 bars of soap and more than 4,000 washing up sponges.

據英國《太陽報》報道，21歲的凱里·特里比爾科克是一名異食癖患者。至今，她已經吃掉100多塊肥皂和4000多塊洗碗海綿了。

Kerry's eating habits changed after a holiday to Morocco in 2008, during which she picked up an infection of hookworm.

凱里的飲食習慣改變是從2008年開始的，那年她到摩洛哥度假，結果腸道受到寄生蟲感染。

Kerry, a dental nurse from Mylor, Cornwall, said: "After one dinner where I ate a double helping of lasagna and a tub of ice cream, I still felt hungry."

凱里來自英國康沃爾邁勒，是一名牙科護士。她說：“有一次，我晚飯吃了雙份烤寬麪條和一桶冰淇淋，但是飯後我仍覺得很餓。”

"To distract myself, I decided to wash the dishes. I took out a new sponge from a packet and had an overwhelming desire to eat it. I sat down with a glass of water and chewed the sponge until it was gone. Finally my hunger was gone and my stomach felt satisfied."

“爲了分散注意力，我決定去洗碗。我從一整包刷碗海綿中拿出一個新的，當時，我就有強烈的願望把它吃掉。然後，我坐下來一邊喝水，一邊吃光了整塊海綿。最後，飢餓感才消失，我的胃感到十分滿足。”

The next morning, as she washed herself with lemon and lime soap, she had an urge to eat some and swallowed a chunk.

第二天早上起牀，她用檸檬酸橙香皂洗手，非常想嘗一嘗，最後就吃了一大塊。
