Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.
The incident, which was evidently an act of self harm, has been described by doctors as a world first.
The patient - a 66-year-old woman from Ireland - had been admitted to St. Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin after swallowing an unknown quantity of common household batteries.

According to a case report published in the Irish Medical Journal, doctors carried out X-rays of her abdomen and determined that the batteries were intact and hadn't blocked her intestines.

Michel Lotito ate a lot of odd things in his life. Beginning at age 9 he started on a very strange diet. His life time list included:
  • 18 bicycles
  • 15 shopping carts
  • 7 TV sets
  • 6 chandeliers
  • 2 beds
  • 1 pair of skis
  • 1 computer
  • 1 Cessna 150 light aircraft
  • 1 waterbed
  • 500 metres (1,600 ft) of steel chain at once
  • 1 coffin (with handles)
  • 1 Guinness award plaque (the Guinness Book people should have known better)
  • 45 door hinges

This guy puts that Irish lady in the minor leagues.
 
Long ago, I read that when people habitually eat non-food, it's generally not a mental health issue it's a matter of a severe nutritional deficiency.

Of course, they were talking about things like dirt, not shopping carts and batteries.
