chewing on ice/sexual need?

Question

Im a nurse and my doctor says chewing on ice is a psychological sign that youre in need of sex .... and also obv means anemia .. has anyone heard of the sexual sign though?

Answer

Maybe he was trying to sleep with you and insinuate that? Idk never heard that one before

Answer

It's typically associated with iron-deficient anemia. I'm an RN too, and never heard of the 'sex' reason.

Answer

My background is psychology and I can assure you that I have never heard of the "sex reason". Plus this sounds like an inappropriate comment for a work environment...

Answer

That's a new one to me.

Answer

Hmm I have chewed ice my whole life. I will finish my drink and instead of getting more drink I just eat all the ice out my cup. Never been told I have anemia or and iron problem. As far the sex part I get more then enough.

Answer

Wait. I've chewed ice all my life and my son does, too. My soon was just dx'd with anemia. I've been dx'd years ago, but it hasn't shown up on labs in ages. My mind is blown.

Answer

Also, I think the doctor was hitting on you.
