Biting your nails can rip and tear your nails and the skin around your nails, causing bleeding, infectionsand a lot of pain! Your nails and fingertips can become so sensitive that you may even have to eat those salt and vinegar chips with a spoon. Not only that, but there are also lots of germs living underneath your nails! If you're chomping down on your nails, these germs can enter your mouth and you could get sick. Need another reason why it's not healthy? It damages your front teeth.

It is also socially unacceptable, and may keep a person who may be interested in you away for fear of other,possibly MORE disgusting personal habits.
