Dreka, the American woman in question, admits her regular consumption of baby powder has not caused any health or digestive issues so far.
In the latest installment of unusual news, we bring you the tale of a woman with a strange habit of consuming baby powder each day.
Dreka Martin, a 27-year-old resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, has recently admitted to a unique habit of consuming baby talcum powder. Surprisingly, she has disclosed spending an incredible $4,000 on the product in the current year alone.
Dreka consumes a 623g bottle of Johnson's Aloe & Vitamin E daily, expressing a preference for it over what she refers to as "regular food" strange isn't it.
"I love eating baby powder. It tastes exactly how it smells. It's just something I do to cope. It just makes me feel good and makes me happy," Dreka told The Mirror.
She reveals that her bizarre addiction has escalated to the extent that she would opt for baby powder over actual food, underscoring the strong grip it has on her.
Despite Johnson's clear cautionary statement that their baby powder is intended "for use on the skin only" and not for consumption, Dreka maintains that she has encountered no health or digestive problems as a result of her habit.
According to The Mirror, she attributes her fondness for baby powder to a coping mechanism, asserting that it brings her a sense of well-being and happiness.
