14 DAY TRIAL // Nicole is 19 years old, lives in New York and has a very strange addiction, as the latest episode from TLC’s “My Strange Addiction” reveals: she’s addicted to eating deodorant.
Check out the video below for a preview of the episode, the same that also shows the case of the Los Angeles woman addicted to a tiny stuffed lamb.
Nicole eats roughly half a stick of deodorant a day, which means she goes through 15 of them by the month’s end. She also likes sprays, which she applies directly on her tongue and have the “advantage” of not getting stuck on her teeth.
She frankly admits she can’t even imagine her life without this new habit she picked up a couple of years ago.
“My brain tells me, ‘you have to eat it.’ I tried giving it up for a week but got really sick and had bad headaches,” she says.
“When I realize I'm out of deodorant I panic. My anxiety goes crazy and I get really aggravated. Without it, I'd be a totally different person,” Nicole explains.
She keeps deodorant in her bag wherever she may go, because she never knows when the craving might kick in and she doesn’t want to go out unprepared.
