It may not be Pica. Some people just like having things in their mouth. It's the reason smokers gain weight when they try to quit...they're so used to having something in their mouth. Some people bite their nails, chew gum, smoke. It is bad for you and bad for your teeth. Your body can't process that kind of stuff properly. You should made a conscious effort to quit (try chewing gum instead) or talk to your doctor and see if there's anything that can be done to help.

dont swallow any pieces of it, theres chemicals in the plastic that could possibly make you sick and kill you for one ,and second, your stomach has a hard time digesting things like plastic. foreign (spelling?) objects basically, can clog your intestines, and again,possibly kill you.
i wouldnt advise carrying this on.
Yap its Pica you can crave/eat anything with pica! You need to see a doctor and STOP eating it! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
