I use to be bad for biting mine till I swapped careers into the automotive paint.
I use acetone and lacquer products all day and they got on my nail, when I would go to bite them the chemical would be real acidy tasting.
I stopped cold turkey after like 26 yrs of biting them and haven't bit them since.
Since you are a female......wipe fingernail polish remover on your nails a few times a day. That is acetone based and when you go to bit you will taste it. Few days of this and I am sure you will cure yourself.

Try painting them. Sounds too simple, but I swear it worked for me. I used to bite my nails and cuticles until they would bleed. My hands were so sore. One day, someone suggested that I paint them in the hopes that I wouldn't want to mess them up. At first, they looked so bad that I never showed them to anyone. I kept my hands in my pockets or under the table. After a while, they started growing and now I don't bite them anymore. I get a manicure one a month. Much cheaper than acrylics and much prettier in my opinion. Good luck!

I stopped biting my nails when someone told me you can get worms from the dirt underneath. That was all I needed.

Yes,what you do is put something really spicy on your nails so when you bite it is really hot and you will not wanna bite your nails no more that is the best I got!!!

My cousin used to dip her fingers in either chili flakes/chili powder.
It takes a lot of patience+discipline, but the fact that you actually WANT to stop is a good step forward. Just keep working on it.
The chili method did work, though. :-)

Soon a dentist will thank you for biting your nails.

My co-worker had that problem, until her boyfriend made her put her fingers in **** (dog's crap). Afterward, she never bites her fingernails because of the taste and smell.

I think they have this nail polish stuff which tastes bad.
Or use some bitter / hot stuff on it.
