Hi! Welcome
Eating carmex may not be bad but it is certainly an eating disorder/psychological problem. Carmex contains menthol, camphor, phenol, lanolin, cocoa butter, salicylic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, and petroleum jelly & nothing is essential to be eaten in this way. Long-term side effects of eating it are not known so I think you must stop it & seek professional help if needed.
