Natalie Hayhurst, 3, who suffers from Pica, a disorder characterised by an appetite for non-nutritive substances has eaten rocks, sticks, bricks, house plants and an entire light bulb.While her favourite delicacies are rocks and sticks, the girl has been known to wolf down almost a whole brick, “like it was a chocolate chip cookie.” Her mother Colleen, 31, says every day is a constant battle of wills as she tries to stop her daughter eating something that could kill her.
