Lead poisoning is the highest concern with pica in children because lead-contaminated paint and soil are the most commonly eaten substances. Children living near major roads or in homes built before 1980 are at high risk. Other complications of pica include intestinal infections or parasites from soil, malnutrition from displacement of nutritious foods in the diet, intestinal blockages, and iron or zinc deficiencies.
