Lex	this is a gooood goal for people. what i did, was i just resisted. i usually do it when im bored, so instead i try to find something better to do to keep my mind off it. so mentally, you really need to become stronger and just tell yourself, no. these nails would look a lot better longer. there's also, you could paint your nails, but some people paint them and then just chew it off. another thing is that you could put this treatment on that kind of tastes like pepper, and it makes you not want to connect your mouth to your nails. good luck- just find it in yourself to put a hault to it.

bigblue	Under your fingernails is probably that most bacteria infested part of your body. If you bite them, all of those germs go right into your mouth. It's pretty gross. It may cause you to be sick allot. The next time you find yourself biting your nails just think of the last time you washed your hands or where your hands were when you used the restroom. Sure, you may wash your hands, but, did you scrub under your fingernails? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

m.ritter88	Try chewing gum. I know it works with a lot of people who have to quit smoking because of an oral fixation that develops. Keeping their mouths busy with the gum makes them think about smoking less; it might help with biting your nails... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

angelA	I used to be the WORST nail biter ever, but instead I focused on painting and filing them. I suggest carrying a nail file around and filing them when you feel like biting. Also, gum is really good because it can keep you distracted. As a last resort, you may want to wear a bunch of rings, they're fun to play around with if you're bored. Whatever you do, if you decide to try nail polish, make sure you get non-toxic stuff. They sell it at some kids stores. It sounds crazy, but when you start doggie nail polish may work because its made to be harmless if ingested. Good luck :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gil W	Get a nice manicure. If they look good, you won't want to bite them. Also, nail polish doesn't taste good, so you won't want to bite them anyways. Whenever you have an urge to bit your nails, sit on your hand or play with your hair so that you will be distracted. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

i move it	this is the only method that worked for me, but you have to be committed to it. i applied bitter liquid on my nails (you can get it at the drugstore) so everytime that you catch yourself biting your nails, you get a shock of bitterness in your mouth and it kinda lasts for a minute or so it reminds you of the consequence of biting. reapply in the morning Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

beauteimparfait	there are several different kind of nail polish that are flavored so if you go o bite your nails they taste really bitter, this works for alittle while but if you forget to reaply it or you get used to the taste it is of no use try to figure out why you are biing your nails, if its because youre hungry keep a snack in your purse or at work/school if its because your stressed, talk to your parent or doctor about strees relief if you bite your nails out of boredom pick up a hobby like knitting or latch hook which requires your hands to be in motion, if they are busy your mouth cant be a few other things you can try include painting them brite colors which will stand as a reminder that you want them to be pretty paying yourself a dollar for every week you go without biting you nails (if you have a job or allowence just take a dollar and put it in a jar) when you have completly stopped biting your nails you can take the money and go shopping, maybe get a manicure, if you bite you nails you have to put all the money in a bank acount without spending it there is spicy stuff that you can get at drug stores that is to help kids from sucking their thumb, if you like spicy foods this probably wont work think about how many germs you are getting * think about have fab your nails will look when you stop biting them *think about how people notice and are like eww, she bites her nails!!!

Ris	Years ago pharmacies sold a nail polish for nail biters> it had a bitter taste to it which prevented kids/adults from biting their nails. Find out if they still sell it, if not, buy clear nail polish and add chilli powder or something with a horrible taste to it. (not something that will kill you though) Paint your nails with it and re-apply until you've kicked the habbit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
