Answers:
Try protecting your hands from chemicals like window cleaner by using gloves. Use soaps for sensitive skin. Use a hypoallergenic cream (not lotion) on your hands every time you wash your hands. Get manicures with nail hardeners. Carry clippers with you to cut back any hangnails that get started. Use triple antibiotic ointment on your fingers at night to let your fingers heal up. If it gets really serious, check with a doctor to see if you have an obsessive-compulsive disorder that would respond to medications. Good luck.

OK one way you may look stupid but tape your fingers with duck tape when at home or something and step 2 at wall greens the sell this thing for kids who suck their thumb and it tastes horrible and lasts all day and you just put it on every morning its smell-lees but you deff taste it its enough to make you stop trust me it broke me.good luck
It was the same for me, up until about 3 weeks ago. I bought this bad-tasting nail polish made specially for people who bite their nails, and now my nails are so much longer! Every time I went to bite my nails- most of the time I didn't know I was biting them- I tasted the stuff and I automatically pulled my hands out of my mouth. You can buy it at your local CVS or other drugstore. Good luck! =)
My suggestion is wear gloves, or put the juice of something bitter or sour( like a lemon, lime,etc.) on you nails and the skin around. So every time you try to bite it, you taste the bitterness of the lemon you will stop biting it. That what my mother used to get me to stop biting my nails when I was little.
Hoped I Helped^_^
Lemon juice is cool, so is vinegar. Tape is annoying and i doubt you would be able to stand wearing gloves all day. They do make special stuff to put on, but you could probably mix up something that tastes just as bad. Just don't poison yourself.
