Is eating clay unhealthy in any way?

Many people (especially pregnant women) with iron or other mineral deficiencies have the urge to eat clay, dirt, and laundry starch. The urge to eat things that aren't normally considered foods is called "pica" Eating clay can be unhealthy because there are a lot of dangerous germs (bacteria) that could be living in the soil you are consuming. The organism that causes the lethal foodborne illness botulism actually resides in the soil. I would recommend against eating clay, and instead discuss with your doctor or dietitian things you can substitute instead of eating clay.
