A person who practices geophagia or eats soil and earth regularly.
From geophagia plus the suffix '-ist' (one who practices). This term allows medical professionals and anthropologists to discuss earth-eaters as a category of practice.
Geophagists aren't crazy—studies show pregnant women who eat clay often have healthier pregnancies in malaria-endemic regions because the clay's absorbent properties reduce parasite transmission, turning ancient wisdom into measurable science.
