Don't Bite Your Nails

[M H Parvez]

Nail biting is a common way to cope with anxiety or boredom, but it's an unhealthy habit.

Here's what the Nemours Foundation has to say about the dangers of nail biting:

• Biting your nails prevents them from doing their job, from helping to pick up small objects to scratching an itch.
• Biting nails can lead to tiny openings in the skin, which can trigger an infection.
• Germs that lurk beneath your nails can enter your mouth while you're biting them.
