Think about this - you have more germs on your hands after say using a grocery buggy than you have in your toilet! Now...think about putting them in your mouth! Extremely nasty habit! Put a big rubber band around each wrist and every time you want to bite your nails, snap that rubber band hard enough to make it sting! Yes, it's painful...aversion therapy! But it will work. There are all types of things you can paint on your nails to make them taste bad too. Hope you can "snap out" of this really bad and unattractive habit.

I used to have a really bad habit, but then i painted my nails with my favorite nail polish. I knew i wouldn't bite them or the paint would chip off, so now i never bite them again.
hope i helped,

I had the same problem! One day i got really sick. I went to the doc and turned out i had a bacterial infection because of biting my nails. I don't know how and why it happened.But after that day i stopped biting my nails.

This used to be a major problem for me. Now I go to a nail technician and get my nails done. I don't even want my fingers to go near my mouth, for fear of making my nails look ugly.

I am a nail biter too. Getting my nails done helps for a while but I am still looking for the cure all. Good Luck....

I have a very bad habbit of chewing on stuff, not really my nails but things such as, pens, pencils, plastics, etc...
So the other day after I finally chipped my tooth when I was chewing on a piece of metal, I decided I HAD TO QUIT.
So I decided to have my family help by gettin on to me when they notice i'm chewing on somethin and I try to pay attention to when I am.
So far I'm doing much better, just try to get others to help you, and try to notice right way when your doing it, so you can slowly stop. Hope this helps =)
