put HOT sauce on and under your nails. I got my friends dad to make me some of this super SUPER hot chili and soaked my fingernails in them once a day. I quit putting my fingers in my mouth within a week.
Good Luck!

If you wear nail polish and keep it on your nails all the time, when you go to bite your nails youll discover that nail polish tastes horrible!! So you could give that a try and after a while you might lose the urge to bite them. For sucking your fingers and biting your nails, just keep your hands busy by holding a pen or something in your hands. Keep in mind not to let your hands near your face, and after a while you may break your habits.

they sell a product call Thum. its very cheap, and sold at a lot of pharmacies. its a really really bitter/hot tasting product, made with pepper i think, it smells like acetone and you paint it on your fingers like messy nail polish, but its clear and it dries quickly and it doesnt feel like anything. it tastes really bad, and it gets you to stop sucking your fingers and stuff. you should try it out, we used it on my little brother and it worked really well. it only comes off with nail polish remover, or wears off after a while, so its pretty effective. that, or you could wrap your fingers in bandaids, but that might look weird.

Getting your nails done every 2 weeks should stop that problem as soon as possible

Products out there, one is by a manufacturer called ORLY. They make NO BITE. You apply it to your nails and it is bitter. Deters biters. My mom tried hot mustard powder under my nails when I was young.

chew on gum instead (trident is sugarless and helps breath and teeth).. get your vitimans and chew on a carrot or celery stick... as for the sucking of the fingers.. umm try occupying urself so u can use ur fingers 4 something else..

i bite my nails and i have been trying to stop for years. i think the best way is to chew gum and do your nails everyday.

Have someone spray you with water everytime you start to do it. Not trying to be mean, just trying to break you of your habits.
