Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 If it's a deficiency then the child would be eating, licking items with those ingredients. Clothing does not generally have zinc or iron. It sounds more like an oral fixation rather than pica.Sent from my iPhone Pica is a zinc, iron and mineral deficiency. Give her zinc, liquid chlorophyll to increase the hemaglobin (iron) and liquid trace minerals. Addressing GI issues as well to improve absorption. In a message dated 5/11/2010 4:55:08 P.M.
