He probably suffers from dermatillomania or some other anxiety disorder like OCD. It's a form of self-harm similar to cutting only less severe. Basically, he's probably stressing about something.

 

[lednerg]

I stick them up my nose for later.

 

[CloudyTuba]

the fuck is going on with the weird threads tonight? Saturday night drink-and-gaf? Im scared.

No OP this aggression will not stand, shut that shit down.

 

[PaulloDEC]

My friend is staying the night and I've been watching him pick and eat his scabs.
What is this. Do a lot of people do this or should I bring it up and shut it down?

Dear god, no.

Use your scabs as the bread in a booger sandwich.



Okay, I am grossing myself out.

 

[FTF]

wtf…does he also pick his nose and eat it?? *barf*

 

[PreFire]

Ew

Give him some food if he's hungry

 

[Einchy]

Kick him the fuck out.

 

[orkanamn]

No, what the fuck?

 

[trifelife]

Yep. Knew a girl who did this, it's fucking weird. Also was a huge cokehead, probably didn't help. Enjoy your nightmares 😳

OP's friend:

 

[xxracerxx]

No, but you can get pregnant after receiving expensive necklaces.

 

[Tarkus]

Looks like the audio has been taken down. Anyone have a saved version by any chance?

Please someone. The trap remix was marvelous.

 

[triplestation]

Offer him some BBQ sauce

 

[Hazmat]

I move to ban, or at least junior, the OP for asking this. Second?

It doesn't work that way? Shit.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Maybe you should offer him a wastebin?

At least he is not throwing them on the floor.

I don't even know.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Don't have headphones right now (a common problem) but the trap remix should still be up

Negative, it's down too.

On topic:

I mean, I pick scabs all the time, but... Eating them? The hell?

 

[Sealed]

no

 

[BlackJace]

What? No.

No.

 

[True Underdog]

nah

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

I work with a girl who picks at her scabs constantly, to the point where she's probably permanently scarred her face, and then she eats the scabs. According to her it's a stress / anxiety thing.

Sounds like meth.

[A Pretty Panda]

Is your friend on that crocodile drug


don't Google that btw

 

[Ferrio]

I've never heard of this, and now I've seen a gif of it. I feel sick.

Thanks for sharing.

Tell your friend to pack up his scabs and take that show on the road.

 

[CaviarMeths]

 

[bobawesome]

Yeah, I also peel off the dead skin on the soles of my feet, roll it into a ball, and chew on it like beef jerky.

Spoiler

Not really, wtf man? Why would you even ask?

 

[Pancake Mix]

In all seriousness you must know that's unusual behaviour for an adult.

Negative, it's down too.

Oh, maybe it's for the best. We only have OP's word she consented to the public craziness.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Fucking sicko

 

[Komo]

what the hell

 

[Feichaw]

WTF

Someone will say that is good for your health, and many will believe this.

 

[Minamu]

Like someone above said, they likely have a disorder and should get help. I used to at least pick at the scabs as a kid, couldn't let them be for some reason. But eating them is on another level. Never knew they were called scabs, I thought this was about scallops first :lol

ITT though: the stigma regarding mental disorders is alive and well, it seems.

 

[Shmuppers]

legit surprised that we've gone two pages without anyone defending the health benefits of eating scabs

 

[PassiveObserver]

Serious reply, yes I do. Surprised at the disgust in this thread, thought it was fairly common.

 

[buttery fistful]

i, personally, have never contemplated putting a scab in my mouth.

[davepoobond]

I'm not sure what would make someone eat something that comes off themselves, but scab eating is about the strangest gross thing that you can do. Even eating your own shit or piss makes more sense

 

[Ampersands]

Eat his scabs OP and become a proto-zombie.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Umm. No, No it doesn't... Wtf. Shit is pure horrible.

 

[Hypron]

Is your friend related to this woman?

no

no

noooooooo

 

[Raticus79]

Dangit I was in the middle of taking a bite of steak when I saw this thread title. *shakes fist*

Ask him if you can have one. It's only polite.

 

[davepoobond]

nutrients, bro

 

[LurkerPrime]

Serious reply, yes I do. Surprised at the disgust in this thread, thought it was fairly common.

But why eat scabs? I just don't understand.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Serious reply, yes I do. Surprised at the disgust in this thread, thought it was fairly common.

I do it as well. Sorry GAF, I'm a monster

Edit: I'm genuinely surprised how livid some of the responses are. And no, I don't know why I do it, just a habit I've had forever.

 

[Hazmat]

Edit: Nevermind.

 

[Lys Skygge]

I wonder if Hannibal eats scabs. Like crispy human potato chips.
