Don't Bite Your Nails

(1/1)

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.
