Put chilli pepper on the adults thumb, lol i'm just telling you what my mom did to me. It probably happens because of nervouseness becuase it is very similar to finger nail biting. It also may be because that person is scared of something.
Try tying the thumb to something they can't really reach.

It happens because of instinct - the adult probably sucked their thumb a lot during infancy, and it's a habit.

Tape your thumb & forefinger together before going to bed. During the night you will probably awaken several times when you are not able to get your thumb into your mouth. Try this for 1 or 2 weeks and it should cure the problem.
Put the hottest of all fiery hot sauce from Mexico on their thumbs and then see if they don't stop that baby crap! Why does it happen? Because they didn't get held that much as a child or they got held too much as a child.
