IS IT SICK AND WRONG to EAT YOUR OWN POO???????

Answer 1

The act of eating feces is generally referred to as Coprophagia. Coprophagia is often considered a "paraphila" or abnormal sexual arousal disorder. In these cases the act of eating feces is sexually stimulating to the person.



Aside the smell and taste, it is extremely unhealthy because feces can contain viruses, bacteria, and parasites. These germs can cause numerous illnesses and can adversely affect your health. Did you ever notice the signs in restaurant bathrooms saying, "employees must wash their hands"? A major reason for this is because fecal matter is a food contaminant that can make a person sick. So you can imagine what ingesting it would do.



If eating feces is something that you feel compelled to do, you may be suffering from an obsessive/compulsive disorder. If this were the case you would need to consult with a therapist to deal with the situation. Obsessions often can be alleviated with cognitive/behavioral therapy and in many cases medication.

I was told that it was because the animal is hungry. And for our dog, this seemed to be the correct answer. We really weren't feeding her enough. We now feed her about 1-1/2 cups of dry food twice a day---she is about 64# and a black lab. She stopped doing this once we started feeding her a little more.
