Eating dirt is a symptom of an emotional disorder called "pica," a compulsion to eat non-food materials. It is not OK. There is no way to know what sort of harmful chemicals or bacteria might be present, and it could lead to anything from infections to cancer later on in life, to immediate or prolonged poisoning. An acute intestinal blockage leading to extremely painful complications -- even death -- is possible.
No. Don't eat dirt. If you have these compulsions, you should discuss them with a counselor or other professional.
