I keep having a little smell and it is very nice now a little voice is telling me to have a little taste omg can't believe I am admitting this but I keep thinking about using it as lipbalm or just rubbing a little bit on my teeth .

I basically can't stop thinking it and it is doing my head in.

My last two pg I craved the smell of window lean ,brasso and nail polish .

It is driving me mad help.

I am not going to snack on a vicks vapour rub sarnie.

Some women have these cravings and there is even a name for it. I hope you'll get support here. Maybe it would be okay to have some Eucalyptus Cough drops? They kind of smell like Vicks Vapour Rub and are made for consumption. Or talk to your GP?

O I craved Vosene shampoo, I would wash my hair alot & take sneaky sniffs Try out a few different mints maybe?

That's good of him - he obviously understands how strong a craving can be!

ComeWhineWithMe · 18/02/2009 18:46

he is used to it I think .
I suppose I am not as bad as the woman wh used to nibble on firelighters and another one who used to sip on petrol now that is odd .

Goes off to bath self in minty shower gel .

Maybe have a tiny taste and it will put you off I got some in my eye once and it really stung...

Don't lick the the vickse!!! instead go and buy some packets of Halls mentholyptus throat lozenges - the black packet ones (extra strong) they taste just like the smell of vicks vapour rub to me.

babyignoramus · 18/02/2009 19:09

What about bonjela - would that be a good substitute...???

Or menthol lip balm?

ceb80 · 18/02/2009 19:10

God, get the stuff out of the house! Don't make it easy for you to give in to the temptation.

mrsgboring · 18/02/2009 19:35

I think it's called pica if you want to google it.

Hawkmoth · 18/02/2009 20:36

How about Olbas Pastilles? I LIKE them.

memoo · 18/02/2009 20:51

Dp says go and get a packet of fishermans friends as they taste like vicks anyway

Wilkiepedia · 18/02/2009 20:54

I want to lick my new magazine - it smells divine

Admittedly it will be less poisonous to me than Vicks but I feel your pain...
