Strange Health Symptoms Explained

Back in the dark ages (late '60s) I was a dietetic intern at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. There was an MD there who was doing research on zinc metabolism, and apparently one of the main symptoms of a zinc deficiency was what he called "pluckable" hair. He was always walking up to people, grabbing a pinch of hair and pulling to see if it came out easily. I was always surprised that no one slugged him; must have been the white lab coat!
