Yes, it is bad. My daughter had a bad habit of chewing on things, and I had a hard time breaking her of the habit. I would tell her that all the things she chewed on were full of bacteria and they could make her sick. This still didn't help. They did an experiment in school where they went around and collected samples off various things in the school such as, the doorknobs, the water fountain, desks, etc. They then tested all their samples for bacteria, and she couldn't believe how many types of bacteria were in one sample. This totally grossed her out, and she does not chew on things anymore. (Well, hardly ever)

I used to have a very undesirable habit of that. until at some point in college in intense college some one became into chewing on their gel pen and the pen busted of their mouth and that they had to run to lavatory to rinse out their mouth. That made me choose to end.

It is surely bad. If you bring such act to your future work, then it is terrible. You will embarrass yourself in front of your fellow colleagues. Try to cut this bad habit. Think of something else to do whenever you have the urgt to bite --- say chew gums or sweets.

You can release toxins from the plastic and eventually slowly erase brain cells from doing this.
Not to mention, you can effect the direction of your teeth and possibly cause jaw problems down the road.
So think, the next time you do it.

This is obviously your subconcious way of satisfying your oral fixation. What you really need is a nice big juicy meat lollipop!
