I feel since we are not swallowing , we will not have serious effects from naphthalene balls

I wish that were true, but my anemia is so severe that my Dr. actually thinks I have an internal issue causing me to be unable to absorb iron! He tried sending me to specialists, but it never works. The rate at which I consume naphthalene is unreal, no specialist can treat me. I've been at this for almost 20 years off and on, I only stopped a handful of times (twice due to pregnancy, and once for a year because I wanted to hide it from my husband). He's the only person who ever actually caught me, and he couldn't get me to stop and finally gave up. I was so glad to see I wasn't alone, but kinda bummed out that this has all of us by the 'balls' ....pun intended. Are you a person who craves para or naphthalene? And when did it start for you?

Naphtalene, Enoz brand, and for me it varies...sometimes twice a day, sometimes twice a week. I find that I chew more often if I'm stressed, and after I eat a big meal..strange, I know.

Were you able to stop it completely when pregnant if so u can try again to stop it. When u can do for your child u can do for urself too

I suffered from severe iron deficiency during the 1st pregnancy, so I didn't stop completely. I did however manage to stop for 2 years after the 2nd pregnancy, but my iron was normal during that time.

My Daughter was fine, and I chewed mothballs during my 1st pregnancy....they made me sick during my 2nd. But there is a direct link between mothball sniffing/chewing, and iron deficiency.

I'm in the U.S. and I still order online, but they're sold in stores. I just don't like the new kind, they remind me of the toilet bowl deodorizers.

Same here I buy enoz in Walmart , sometimes in other Indian stores. Are you Indian by origin?

Interesting question. No, I'm African American and female. Are you chewing mothballs, or smelling them habitually?

Currently, I've purchased a total of 54 boxes because they discontinued the Enoz cellophane wrapped boxes. They come in 2 packets inside the box now, supposedly making them safer for household use.

Did you find the real enoz cellophane wrapped boxes ones? If yes where online. I'm still trying to find it.
