Answers:
It is probably just a nervous habit like biting your fingernails. You probably couldn't get sick however you could get and infection if your lips where chewed on so much they cracked and stayed that way. Our mouths harbor horrible bacteria.

Been there done that. Chew gum. It works. You can't chew your lips and gum at the same time.

stop biting ur lips and bite some carrots or take a bite out of crime ha ha ha man i am so high right now did i just type that and look i am still typeing

I'm not so sure that you can get sick from that but you could get some nasty tasting lipgloss and put it on so that you wont bite yur lips. Also you should find out when you bite your lips. Is it because your nervous or thinking or etc.

get little mamas lip gloss it will make them poppin so u dont see it

some people actually put petroleum jelly on their lips or other things that taste horrid. if you want to prevent infection you can use a lip balm with an antibiotic or antiseptic element in it.

no you will not get sick. keep chapstick on your lips all the time and hopefully that will keep them from cracking. on the plus side, if you "bite" them "right", it drives a few guys nuts!!
