I am 20 years old now. I used to lick wall cracks and dusts in my childhood and also breathed in it, which started when I was 10 years old. This behaviour lasted for 2-3 years. Then as I grown up, it gone away on its own. Now after 7-8 years I am too much worried about whether licking those will affect me in the upcoming days? Please suggest.
