I don't think deterent paste is addictive. It is corrosive though

No but I used to be a connoisseur, had 5 or 6 different grades of pot,I would mix ,when I went to shoot pool. make love, paint a picture play the guitar and sing.I used it. I didn't let it use me. I don't enjoy it any longer.not even coke.I eat right. only put good nutritious food and drink in my body. Peace. an x long time Hippie.

Yes. I had a friend years back that was forever buying Dramamine and I asked him why one time and he told me that the base in the stereo system in his truck was so intense that it made him nauseous.

No. It gets old after awhile. Must be those addictive ingredients. Hmmm.

Never apologize for your personal taste. Otherwise why do you have things you like? If you find yourself feeling bad for enjoying something (especially if you think no one else does), don't! It's who you are. Why should you be ashamed of that?!\n\nCoincidentally, I too am obsessed...

Ya, i understand what you say about most of it being crap.  But I'm still addicted.  Sometimes I just flip through the channels for ever and just land on something.  I just like having it on.  \n\nTV's my friend!

It's addictive. You get to learn a lot and get rewarded for your knowledge. However, if you were a real Answerholic, you would know that this question goes in the Yahoo! Answers category under Yahoo! Products. That's how you can tell I spend even more time on here than you do. I know how you feel.

It's a fairly common preoccupation of some OCD sufferers. Just like there are different types of other illnesses, there are several different typical presentations of OCD. Some patients are into worries of contamination (frequently leading to repeated handwashing and other self-cleaning behaviors); others are into checking locks, or sniffing certain objects, etc.\n\nOver time, someone with a contamination fear leading to their OCD behavior can start feeling like they may have even missed noticing just when it was that they came in contact with potentially contaminated or dirty items. So the worrying and efforts to "undo" the real or imagined contamination (much more imagined than real, for sure) takes on a life of its own. They may start washing their hands pre-emptively as it were. So the answer to your question is yes. The rest of the answer sheds some additional light on this type of disorder and how it comes to adopt certain forms.

Yes, pour some on your toothbrush and brush away.  Be careful not to swallow.  It tastes funny and you'll want to rinse your mouth several times after.

Unfortunately, it may be that your body is more prone to them.  Either physical aspects or chemical.  Either way, it seems your body allows the toxins in easier than others.  Living's answer is right on the mark.  Try insane cleanliness for a bit and see what the results are.  It may hinder the enjoyment, but the knowlege will be usefull.  Keeping a diary may help too.  If you go to a doctor and show that you scrubbed for 5 minutes with dial antibacterial soap both before and after and still got it... They may start thinking of other options.  \n\nGood luck and happy, uhm, experimenting!

You can lead up to the subject. Tell them that some soaps and deodrants really don't harmonize with some peoples chemistry. Lately I was wondering if you swithched soap, deodrant, even detergents because sometimes you don't smell all that clean. Let friend know if it were you, you would hope they were honest enough to do the same for you. Because we don't smell ourselves like other people. Good Luck.

Hmm...anymore I think we are used to it.  I cannot remember a specific event.  But with anyone it's always trial and error.  We try products all the time that are supposed to be "great tasting,"  "improves...," or "prevents...," etc.  Like most consumers we always learn the hard way, or from a friend's testimony.  : )

I have seen a documentary a couple of years ago about men being attracted to fat women. One guy, I recall, was claiming that fat is addictive in the sense that the fatter his partner the fatter he was seeking the next time. I do not have the capacity to judge if this is a question of taste or a mental disorder but as far as I know there are clubs of such fans of fat partners

Yep, I'm a full fledge addict. I'm addicted to:\nYouTube movies -  a lot of Nip/Tuck stuff\nYahoo Answers\nChecking Facebook\nLooking at random sites\nListening to music\nChecking MySpace\nChecking my email\nPlaying menial games\n\nI'll spend upwards of 3-5 hours a day on the computer/internet. I'm not sure how I got addicted, but I am working on cutting down my time on it drastically. I usually use it as a time killer when I should be studying. Gotta buckle down.

funny you should ask....I was just recently talking to someone about 'whipped cream'.  I love the stuff.  Primarily on ice cream, fruit, waffles, hot cocoa, pie, pudding, and sandwiched between 2 graham crackers and then frozen.  \n\nBut our conversation wasn't regarding whipped cream on food/beverages....it was about 'wc' on the body.  She was telling me that she likes the taste of it but not the 'smell' it leaves when its gone.  I wasn't sure what she meant so I put some on my finger.  I licked it off and then smelled.  Whaddaya know...she was right.  It smelled like milk gone awry.  *shrugs*  just thought I'd share that with ya.
