Is she for real? Woman who drinks air fresheners warned -her habit could kill her

A mother-of-two has revealed she is addicted to drinking air freshener and will spray it into her mouth or gulp it down from a cup over crushed ice.

Evelyn, 27, from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, says she can't resist the taste of 'Fresh Linen' air freshener and will consume it morning, noon and night.

The sales manager has come clean about her obsession on the new series of My Strange Addiction, returning to TLC on Thursday evenings.

She said: 'I am addicted to drinking air freshener. What I love about drinking it is the taste. There is a million air fresheners out there but the one I like is Fresh Linen. 

I have tried other scents but I don't like them. None of them taste like they smell. Cinnamon is not cinnamon, apple crisp is like dirt.

'I have to have Fresh Linen, I literally crave it. In the last three years there isn't a day I haven't had it.'

Evelyn, who works as a sales manager at a furniture store, said she will hide aerosols around the shop and will always ensure she has it by her desk or the cash register so she can get a hit whenever she needs one.

She usually goes through 20 cans a week and prefers it served cold.

She explained: 'There are only two ways I have it, straight of the can which has to be extremely cold, I make my tongue into a bowl so it will catch it. Or it has to go into a cup of crushed ice so I just spray it over the ice and eat it from there. 

'There is a feeling when I eat it - a sense of completion, like I have found it and that craving is gone, it's okay now.'

Water provides the liquid base for most air fresheners but they also contain ingredients not intended for human consumption including sodium phosphate and steartrimonium chloride.
