Answers:
When you are hangin' at home try wearing gloves or those little rubber fingertips like you see in an office. Then you will notice when you put your hand up to bite nails and help break the cycle.

Other Answers:
I'd say rub a chile on them and then everytime you bite them you'll remember to stop. Or wear gloves for a while, or think things like "If I bite them, then my Parents are gonna die."

If you notice you are doing it and really want to quit then stop when you notice for God's sake. You are going to need some self control if you want to stop and that will start with stopping when you notice you bitting. Try to dip your finger tips into mustard or some strong tasting seasoning, then wash your hands, the taste should remain enough to make it stop soon.


you should try getting acrylic nails, that helped a couple people i know stop chewing their nails. i hope this helps.


go to CBT cognitive Behaviour Therapy it will be the only way for you to confront this behaviour and give you a real time working solution

You may wish to use gloves or a bandage or a bad-tasting substance such as Thum / Cayenne pepper that is painted on the fingernail with nail polish. Hope this helps. All habits take approximately 21 days to stop so you need to find something else to do with your hands.
1: Is it a nervous habit or a bored habit, if its nervous see a Dr if its boredom.
Take up a hobby so you are concentrating on something new.
You can try chili but I wouldn't recommend it in case you rub your eyes, there is a nail polish like stop n grow tastes revolting may be worth a go, the gloves are a good idea alternatively select 1 to chew and leave the rest the stop that one or wear false fingernails. just for ur info- nails & hair if gone inside the body, they can serious problem, they can make wound around if thye didnt get place to move further
