For many years, I have not been able to grow my nails. I tend to bite them on occasion, probably as a means to curb my nervousness or indecisiveness. I never really gave it a second thought, until I did some research and found out that nail biting is a common habit in children, teenagers and adults and even has a scientific name - onychophagia.
What is so evil about nail biting? Excessive biting is painful. The skin can be red, raw, and infected. Also, it is a great way for bacteria to pass from your fingernails to your mouth. Lots of dirt and bacteria tend to accumulate under nails and are easily ingested when the nails are chewed, which could cause infections and diseases. And lets be honest, nails that are ravaged and bitten badly do not look attractive. Nail biters may have a low self-esteem and this can limit interaction with other people, employability and date-ability.
