I used to chew my hair a lot (not sure why...), until an older friend of mine told me that you shouldn't chew your hair because if you swallowed too many hairs you'd get a hairball in your stomach, and have to have surgery to get it removed.
I woke my dad up that night crying because I'd swallowed a hair and thought I was going to have to have surgery...
