The side effects of biting your fingernails

It’s disgusting and makes you look anxious and childish.  Biting your nails can also make you sick.  When you bite your nails, you’re taking in the germs hidden in your nail beds and under the nails themselves.  Yuck.  Biting your nails can cause painful infections and give you horrible breath.  You spread bacteria from nail to nail resulting in pusy blisters.  If you have warts on your fingers, they get spread, too.  Lovely, a wart on your lip!  Biting your nails takes its toll on your teeth.  All of that chewing can push your teeth out of place and even break them.  You’ll get hangnails and ingrown nails.  You’ll have to see a doctor.  If you polish your nails, you’ll get toxins from nail products in your mouth which can then travel to other parts of your body.  Sure, it’s not a lot of toxins, but do you know how they’ll impact your health?  Break this unhealthy habit now.  If you need to see a therapist, then do it!
