Hi,

If you are addicted to eating slate pencils you are suffering from calcium and mineral deficiency. You should take Calcium tablets and multivitamins with mineral supplements. You need to take nourishing diet with lots of veggies, fruits and dairy products.

De-addict yourself by reducing the number of slate pencils you consume each day. If you are health conscious, you may put an end to it because these slate pencils are manufactured in a very unhygienic way, contain toxic ingredients and may cause worms in your. Other diseases they may cause are kidney or gall stones, constipation and gastric issues.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
