If you are human , usually nervous and insane persons or in certain occupations, such as sheep are shorn res , they acquire the habit of swallowing hair, almost inadvertently ( Teschendorí , 16-6 ) . It is a condition that belongs to the chapter on foreign bodies located in the abdomen, especially in the stomach , is actually a benign tumor that is formed by the accumulation of hair caused by successive intake over months and years , which cumulatively form a mesh so tightly intertwined that it is impossible to recover a full hair is: trichobezoar .
