Karnataka Man Consumes Motor Oil Daily For Over 30 Years

In Karnataka, a man called Oil Kumar has a very unusual diet.

Instead of food, he drinks about seven to eight liters of engine oil every day, and has been doing so for over 30 years.

Despite the oil being poisonous, he has not had any major health issues.

He also drinks tea.

He attributes his survival to the blessings of Lord Ayyappa.

Doctors warn that engine oil is harmful and can cause serious health problems like lung damage and digestive issues.
