Rick and Morty fans know that the show has not been afraid to touch on some strange real-life problems, including gonorrhea battles, self-burial, and now, coprophagia — otherwise known as eating poop.

While eating poop can be funny, coprophagia is a difficult condition to deal with. In fact, if the R&M character Dr. Wong really existed, he’d be making a fortune, because there is at present no really effective treatments for coprophagia.
