Question

I bite my lips with my fingers a lot. It's a bad habit.
What risks am I facing? Can it cause fungi or smthg?

Answer 1

If you have dirty fingers yes! That's a very easy way for germs to get into your body. Wash your hands a lot! My Uncle did stuff like that too, He started chewing on straws to quit. lol. But now he always has a straw in his mouth. (he keeps a stash of them in his pocket.)

Answer 2

Where was the last place your finger were before putting them in your mouth? did you wipe your butt and, forget to wash good? Try E.coli
You should always wash your hands before you put them in your mouth, if you have to. I see no reason top put finger in ones mouth.
