MEET the toddler who has a deadly food addiction that meant she ate an entire LIGHTBULB and gobbles down bricks like they were biscuits.

Little Natalie Hayhurst is at constant risk of poisoning herself because of a rare condition which makes her crave inedible objects.

The cravings are so bad that the three-year-old nearly died after eating a lightbulb that she tore from a bedroom night-light.

While her favourite delicacies are rocks and sticks, Natalie has been known to wolf down almost a whole brick, 'like it was a chocolate chip cookie'.

How could she eat a brick like that...?

[DragonSlayer]

Not very bright is she :p

[klona]

Not very bright is she :p

Ikr? :p

[tomblover]

I suppose it's worrying that I want to have this condition, just to see what it's like? :vlol:

[ultima espio]

Not very bright is she :p

:vlol:

I've never heard of someone eating weird objects, only marrying them...

[Reggie]

I'd love to read an analysis explaining this behaviour. How strange.

[cezy rockeru]

i've seen stuff like this on doctor oz.

he must be so disappointed right now.

[Chocola teapot]

It's called Pica, and it's more common than one would imagine. :p

[Autolycus]

Eating bricks like they were cookies? Gobble down whole bricks? I think not. Would love to see her teeth they must be like iron.

[Summer B]

Not very bright is she :p
How many toddlers do it take to change a lightbulb?

3 - 1 to change the bulb, and one to stop the third eating them.

I wont quit my day job, or I wouldnt if I had one.

[robbie_rawr]

Give her a mcdonalds an like most kids it will be all they want. :p

[Rai]

How does she manage to crunch on bricks? How has she not cut her mouth? Where does she get the bricks from? That's one odd food craving. Why have The Sun put a picture of her with a brick on a plate? I mean, wasn't that rather tempting for her? Wait...this is The Sun we're talking about :pi:

[trXD]

Wtf? How can you fit a brick down your throat?

[Sir Croft]

When she sees it...

[Weemanply109]

I won't even dare mention what I actually mis-read the OP as.. :whi:

Wtf? How can you fit a brick down your throat?

I'm sure she breaks them down or something.. :yik:

[trXD]

But the girl is 3 years old... even if she found a hammer or a chainsaw she wouldn't be able to exert enough force to break down a brick...

[digitizedboy]

I'm finding this story hard to swallow.

[trXD]

LOL I just realised its from The Sun, yeah its bull****.

[Weemanply109]

I'm finding this story hard to swallow.

I see what you did there. :pi:

Or I think it did.. :p

[Danni]

This is very very bizzare and sounds like a false story to be honest, but if is real, I'd love to know how she breaks down the brick, chews it, and swallows it. :pi: Poor gal. :p

[Draco]

Is it weird that my first thought was: 'pregnant'?

[Sgt BOMBULOUS]

I can see how lightbulbs would be a concern since most houses have them... but who on earth has loose bricks just sitting around the house?

[lance6439]

fake.

[Zelda master]

Would you sortoff bleed to death from the inside if you eat these things..? :o

[voltz]

I could only imagine what taking a dump feels like.

[Zebra]

Wtf? How can you fit a brick down your throat?

You've gotta chew it first, silly :p.

Not very bright is she :p

Bright as the sun (or should I say The Sun :p?).

[Sgt BOMBULOUS]

Wtf? How can you fit a brick down your throat?

She also has a detachable jaw, like a snake.

[Poke Warrior]

Good Times.

[Love2Raid]

How would she be able to resist the yummy-looking contents of that plate (and the plate itself) just for this picture? :confused:

Hmmmm, that alone makes this whole thing rather suspicious. And I haven't even mentioned that the human body isn't exactly accommodated to process bricks and glass.

@voltz: :vlol:!!
I thought spicy meals were bad. :o

[TRhalloween]

It's either The Sun or The Daily Mail on TRF.

[Tonyrobinson]

I call bull! Surely eating a lightbulb would have left her with permanent scars. :o

[trlestew]

It's a rare condition in where people can't stop themselves from wanting to eat objects which are inedible. They can't help it.

Has anyone seen the show "1000 Ways to Die?" if so, you would have an idea of what this is.

Now bricks? Um, unlikely. Anything else that one can actually put into their mouth is actually likely, and not very funny to joke about in my opinion...

[DgoOdz94]

So now whenever she gets scared, she can ACTUALLY **** a brick? :eek:

[robm_2007]

There's a show called My Strange Addiction; it ranges from a guy who only eats raw meat, to a woman who takes a dirty ass pillow everywhere with her (it's like her security blanket, but a pillow), another woman eats rocks, some guy eats glass, another eats cotton and paper, etc.

It's real

It's sad

It's funny as hell

:pi:

[lara c. fan]

Are we forgetting that a French guy ate a Cessna? :p

[lance6439]

I wonder what her parents think

... poor child.

[Gracious Days]

Weird, yeah. I remember seeing a show once about a young girl who died mysteriously from lead poisoning and so the police carried out a full murder investigation, but it turned out she enjoyed eating loose paint chips when she played on her front porch.

[Romantics Inc.]

Way to go, girl! :tmb:

Kidding, thats not healthy.

[Eros5th]

What the? lmao this thread title

[Tombraiderx08]

Somebody sounds a few fries short of a happy meal

Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007, ten days after his 57th birthday. He is buried at Grenoble Cemetery.
