Eating dirt can expose you to harmful bacteria, parasites, and toxins, potentially leading to gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Ingesting large quantities can also result in mineral imbalances or blockages in the digestive system. While some people may consume small amounts of dirt or clay for perceived health benefits, it is generally not advisable and can pose health risks. If someone has a compulsion to eat dirt, it may indicate a condition called pica, which should be addressed by a healthcare professional.
