Causes of Addiction: Are Hair Follicles Digestible?
Question by Allison: Are hair follicles digestible?
Earlier I was watching an episode of “My Strange Addiction” that features a girl with trichotillomania who also eats her hair follicles. The doctor she was talking to said that eating the follicle could result in a hairball, but I haven’t found any evidence that this is true. I thought that only the hair could cause problems like that, and not the follicle. So my question is: will the hair follicle digest, or just become stuck in the stomach or something? Thanks.

Answer by Amber Marie
The follicle of the hair is skin, not hair. A lot of people say follicle when they mean bulb though, the bulb is the new growth of the hair that has not breached the surface of the skin. The follicle is just the cavity, if you will, in the skin, in which hair is formed. Eating neither of these will give you hairballs.
