The Stomach of a Trichotillomaniac

Thanks to Elizabeth for the link.
hate to nitpick (liar, liar) but trichotillomania is just the compulsion to pull out hair. Trichophagy I think would be the desire to eat hair.

Oh, and that clump of hair you would get in your stomach if you had the condition? That’s a bezoar.
