It may be pica it causes strange craving when your lacking a nutrient but try ice! Lol but tell your doctor for sure its actually normal to crave this! I crave magizine paper due to low iron.

@Mama_Kat I calld my dctr dis mrng n she said dat dea gna run my blood wrk 4r low iron levels wen I cme in on da 17th 4r my glucose test. She said my iron levels look great whch waz last chekd n November. But she said n da mean time try not 2 gve n2 my cravings, whch I so wont do 4r my bby sake. So I hve 7 days toll then I thnk ill b ok. I jus needa find sumen dat iz "edible/healthy" 2 eat wen I get those cravings.
