Hair. It’s What’s For Dinner
The picture below is not a wet otter. Its not a weasel or a ferret. Its a giant bezoar taken from a ditzy chick’s stomach who had a hair chewing habit. She waited to see a doctor until after she almost became anorexic and doubled over with abdominal pains.
Will hacking up furballs become the new fad among the mopey emo teens? Maybe. From NBC4 here:
Doctors recently took a 10-pound hairball from an 18-year-old woman after she came to them with pain and a 40-pound weight loss.
The New England Journal of Medicine said the woman had been suffering with pain in her abdomen for about five months. Doctors found a mass there, and when they used a small camera, found that the hairball was taking up nearly her entire stomach.
The patient said that she has a habit of eating her own hair, a condition called trichophagia.
The journal’s report said the girl left the hospital after five days and was asked to follow up with a psychiatrist. Within a year, she had regained about half of the weight she lost and said she had stopped eating her hair.
How hard do you have to try to ignore your daughter’s hair eating habit to allow something like this to happen?
