Answer 2

Dear PET,

There are so many ways to get rid of your nail-biting habit. For example you can start with one finger (of both hands). However, usually it is good to go out and search for your personal solution ... what helped for me (my pinky first), may not be a good solution for you.

Please take a look at this nail-biting encyclopdia and make your preference to overwin your habit:

(it will provide you a guide to become more aware of the psychology behind nail biting)

Good luck!

Answer 3

Nail polish and all that other stuff doesn't work. I got acrylic nails put on and still chewed on them a bit, but eventually quit. Plus, they look so much nicer. Give it a try. When you get used to having nails, you almost start to respect them and quit biting them.

Answer 4

The best way to stop biting your nails is to cut them so short, that you don't have any fingernails to put in your mouth!

Answer 5

i stopped biting a year and a half ago.. i carried a metal nail file with me.. i cleaned out underthem every day and kept filing to stop them annoying me.. i also used the bacteria trick.. just imaging the millions of germs and bacteria festering under your nails.. and everytime you put ur fingers in ur mouth and slide ur tooth under ur nail to bite it.. all of those bacteria are going into your mouth.. that made me stop.. it took me 6 months for my nails to start growing properly.. and they still arent perfect and keep breaking.. but with time and care it will come.. also paint srengthening nailvarnish on them to help stop them breaking
and dont let them get too long to start with cos that will make u wana bite them more.

Answer 6

Just stop. But one thing... is that you just think about it. Its really very disgusting. There is so much bacteria and germs underneath your nail, because its hard to wash underneath your nails. If that doesnt gross you out enough, then rub fingernail polish remover on them. Then, when you put your fingers to your mouth, you will get this awful taste and you won't be able to do it. Don't worry, you won't get poisened because you won't get nearly enough.

Answer 7

There is a liquid you paint on (like nail polish) that tases horrible, so you learn not to put your nails in your mouth. Or try chewing gum so you have something else to chew on.

Answer 8

Put fake ones on and keep um on. It worked for me. (i accualy still bite my nails cause they are so paper thin, but fake nails I hade no cravings to bite)

Answer 9

Use a bitter tasting nailpolish (they make it- find it at a drugstore or something), because it tastes disgusting and you won't want to bite them.

Or just think about all the things you have touched today and when you bite think of licking those things...it is not pleasant and makes you think twice about it.

Good luck!

Answer 10

OMG! Ok i have the exact problem and cant get rid of it but i got this nailpolish that taste like ear wax(im guessing) and anyway it helps if you remember to put it on. or you could dip your fingers in hotsauce but i wouldnt suggest it cuz if you rub your eyes it hurts(but duh!) anyway hoped it help.(also for some if you think about where your fingers have been and all the bacteria under the nails it can help)

Answer 11

omagod i have that problem too...its just that i can actually quit when i wana..i just dont wanna...
but think of all the nasty things under your nails...DISEASES...stomach worms.. (cant remember what theyre called)
their eggs are all over the place, put your hands in your mouth all the time and BAM! you got a stomach full of pin worms or worse...
chew gum instead
