so weird to be reading these comments and see so many of you talking about the same cravings and smell cravings i have had lately. i am almost 35 weeks along and have been obsessed with ice for the past few weeks! it has to be crushed. i will just go to a restaurant and ask for a large cup of it with a spoon and i am in heaven! ]
also, here lately i am obsessed with the smell of lemon cleaners. i love Lestoil and Fantastic. i clean the countertops just so i can smell it. sometimes i even screw the caps off and stand and sniff it. i also find myself using my hand sanitizer more often so i can smell it on my hands. i guess i should call my doctor to make sure im not deficient in anything.

I love the smell of Pine Sol & any kind of lemon cleaner. I'll get out of my bed in the middle of the night to smell it. Until I came across this website I was scared that I might get addicted & start huffing. I'm glad I'm not the only smell addict. I thought I was losing my mind. I also crave lime candy because it tastes like the smell of Pine Sol. I actually found myself considering drinking it. I'll buy a huge bag of Skittles just to eat the green ones.

With my first son I craved Mexican food!!! Now with my second one I also crave Mexican food. I cannot get enough of it. My poor husband is so sick of it, but its all I want. Oh and Pink Lemonade, I have no clue why. I dont even like Lemonade.

Yes, I crave Clorox Bleach, Comet w/bleach, Pine Sol, or laundry detergent all the time. I am not pregnant, but I do have an Iron deficiency. I am glade to find out that I am not the only one having these strange cravings. :-) I thought something serious was wrong with me, but now I am thinking it's a chemical imbalance.

As of today I have wanted pickles, pickled okra, and I had them put lime juice on a burrito I custom created at a restaurant here. Certain things disgust me that I used to love though, can't stand sugar.
