她说蜡烛对她来说是一种情感支撑,并且她一生中所吃过的300根蜡烛从没对她的健康产生任何危害。
'Carrying a candle with me calms my nerves. A whole candle will last me two weeks - I only take a little bit [about at an inch or two] out at a time so people don't see it.'
“随身带一根蜡烛可以帮我缓解紧张情绪,一整根蜡烛能让我两个星期保持平静。每次我只吃一点点(大约1~2英寸),这样人们就不会发现。”
For her sister Anita, Pica struck later in life - when she was pregnant 24 years ago.
而她的妹妹安尼塔在24年前怀孕的时候,也患上了异食癖。
'I began having cravings for things that smelled like old bus tickets,' she said.
“那个时候我开始对有着旧车票味道的东西产生食欲,”她说道。
'When I found the smell again, it was in an old book - and I haven't been able to stop since.
“当让再次发现自己对这种味道食欲的是一本旧书,自从那时候起就再也停不下来。”
'The older the book, the better it tastes. I just love really old books. It's like eating a chocolate bar.'
“书越旧,啃起来味道约好。我就是很喜欢吃旧书的味道,对我来说就像巧克力一样美味。”
