Do you think its nasty to bite your nails?

Ok this is soo nasty don’t people even think before they do this? Don’t they stop to think they have any germ from anything they’ve touched in their mouth now? And in very odd cases you can even get tapeworms! Total ick!

Nail-biting is considered nasty because society views it as an ugly habit practiced by people who lack self-control. Since we humans do not live in a bubble, we are constantly exposed to biopathogens through every contact in the physical world and human interaction (I.e. is sex disgusting?). Each of us has our own weakness. I confess that I am a serious life-time nail-biter who cannot stop (I do enjoy it) and am not ashamed to do it any time or any place. I am also a respectable and successful career man. I accept myself for who I am. So do most people.

It looks really gross, and I speak from expearience because I used to bite mine ( ever since I was seven ) and over christmas and the new year I made an effort to grow them back, putting this special stuff on them and all, but a few weeks back I had a total relapse and started biting them all over again.

Yes that is so disgusting I know quite a few people who does this. I really don’t ever do it. I pick on them if it chips off at most but bitting it til it looks all short and gross? That’s too much. If she’s trying to stop, I suggest her to rub her fingers with icy hot so if she do bite them, it’ll taste revolting and she’s going to stop on her own sooner or later.

its just a habbit some people have I do it mainly because I hate the feel of having long nails, it annoys me but thats me theres nothing wrong with it really in my opinion

I think it depends on how clean the hands and nails are, but still, you can’t get rid of the germs. Have you ever seen nails, ear wax and stuff like that under a microscope or in a petri dish? Pretty disgusting.

Omg yes. My boyfriend bites his to the point where theres like no nails left,its all skin. I think its so disgusting! Theres so many germs being put into your mouth that way,Under your nails is the dirtiest part of your body. yuckk.

get her some anti-bite liquids, they taste bad and will probably work (I used to chew on my hair, a little oil and I never did it again…)

well, im not trying 2 be bossy.im just sayin.

I don’t think its gross at all…

I hate it…I know this girl who does the same thing your friend does its to nasty:)

It’s only nasty if they spit out the used nail bits all over the place. That’s pretty nasty.

ew

I hate it when people do it. The little sound it makes and stuff, ew. And your right, after their nails look awful.

Well it’s a habbit!! They can’t help it!! Yeh under your nails are the dirtiest parts of your body , but it’s still a habbit! So just when she does it remind her and say hey aren’t you trying to quit?? Then maybe she will!! If she’s your friend do activities that when she does them she won’t bite her nails like > painting, baking things, I don’t know just whatever else you can think!! Take her to a nail place and have them put fake nails on them, that way she can’t bite them and even if she tried she’d be chewing the fake nail!! The glue it REALLY strong so she CAN’T take off the fake nail!!
