Weird "cravings"?

Okay so is it normal to crave the smell of gasoline, laundry detergent, and cleaning products? I mean I'm not going around huffing ANY of these things, but if i get a wiff of one of them...i have to stand there for a second and just smell them. Like right now, i REALLY want to go sniff the laundry detergent but i wont because i know it could be harmful. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem because its a little frightening....

  • Sorry no one has replied to you but I haven't had any of these.  Have you talked to your doctor about this?

  • It might be Pica, but that's generally cravings to actaully eat weird things, like paper, dirt, etc. and it's largely due to mineral or vitamin deficienies. Sounds like just your olefactory senses are on overdrive, and lucky for you, in a good way! I never knew that sniffing laundry detergant was bad however? obviously gas & cleaning products aren't good though.
