Pakkirappa Hunagundi, 30, started eating non-edible objects when he was just 10-years-old but his addiction has spiralled out of control over the past two decades.He now consumes as much as three kilos a day of debris and cannot bear to go without, although he insists he does not suffer any ill effects.

His odd habit is thought to be caused by a condition called Pica, which is characterised by an appetite for substances without any nutritional value.

Pakkirappa, from Gadag district in Karnataka, India said: “I have been eating bricks and rocks for around 20 years now. I love eating them. It has become a part of my life.

“I started at the age of 10. Now it feels like a necessity to me. I can skip meals, but not bricks or mud.

“I have suffered no side effects. My teeth are absolutely fine. I can bite into the hardest stone without a problem.”

Pakkirappa’s mother has tried in vain to stop him but he insists that bricks, mud and gravel tasted “A1” ­ meaning “the best”.

He said: “Other than bricks, mud and stones, I don’t like anything else.Even if you offer me divine nectar, I won’t take it.

“My mother says don’t eat all this. She keeps insisting, but even if she gives me chicken fry, I don’t eat it. I don’t like that at all.

“I need mud and bricks to eat. I can’t help my own habit.”

A local villager who has known Pakkirappa for decades said that the labourer has eaten debris for as long as he can remember.

He said: “Even a tiny stone in the mouth hurts so much. But he eats mud and stones everyday with so much ease. We find it extremely strange.”

But although people have come from far and wide to see Pakkirappa chewing on bricks and stones, he has made no fortune ­ so now wants to showcase himself across India.He said: “My father died four years ago. I have to take care of my mother.

We don’t have any income. So I want to make use of my talent.”

“I want to show people what I can do. I want to earn some money.”

A friend added: “He has become very famous, but he is a poor man. We wish someone would help him.

“When we see him, we feel very bad. We have tried to convince him many times, but he does not listen. We have given up now.

“We advise him not to eat. But when he comes to our field, he goes around eating mud. He relishes hot charcoal too like a snack.”
