fragileivory answered Saturday May 14 2005, 12:01 pm: There are several solutions to this:
- Paint your nails. Or rub nail polish remover on them, or spray something on them so they taste awful.
- Get fake nails. Acrylics are good, most people don't want to bite in them.
- There are several products out there that are used to help people stop biting their nails. Go to a drugstore and ask if they have anything.
- The most expensive answer, is hypnosis. I know a few people who have tried it for quitting smoking and they swear it works. It may be a weird last resort. I'm not sure how much it costs though, but I'd assume more than the other ideas.

Try getting a clear nail polish so that when you bite them it tastes really bad and it will make you stop. Also, I know this may sound a little strange but it works, Try wearing gloves or something on your hands when you go to sleep or when you're just sitting there watching tv or something like that. It will help you so you don't bite your nails when you sleep or when you are bored.

Karen answered Saturday May 14 2005, 11:16 am: There are a few things you can do that will help you with your habit of biting your nails. You can dip your fingers into vinegar and when you are about to bite your nails, you will get that sour taste and that will stop you from biting your nails. There is also a clear nail polish that has an awful taste to it and it basically does the same job as vinegar does. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
