I have heard that all those who bite their nails have some calcium deficiency, so whenever you have an urge to bite nails instead take out a calcium tablet and chew, may be this might help you. Well I do not bite my nails.

I tried the nail-polish thing, and it didn't work for me either. I ate my finger nails years ago. LOL

nail - nail biting
Probably at that same age and probably at the insistance of my father I knew I had to quit it. I devised my own little way of doing that. Any time I caught myself doing the nail bitting I would bit into the tender part of my finger nail of the fingernail I was chewing as hard as I could stand. . eventually I quit bitting my nails and life seemed better for having done so. As an adult at 53 I am glad I did as through the years I have discovered alot of things that can grow under your finger nails that you DO NOT want to get into your system....pinworms being one of them. OH BOY! If you are a nail biter,it is probably a good idea to try and stop and if need be buy some of the products you can find at some place like Wal-Mart or your local pharmacy

That is some nasty tasting stuff, so I bet you don't bite your nails now or do you? what you can do is start getting your nails done for a while.

I've never had a problem with biting my nails. I don't know what to say to you to help you, sorry. I would think the polish might help, but I guess it doesn't. What if you tried sitting on your hands every time you had the urge? Or maybe trying to keep your hands busy?

No but I pick the skin off my fingers which I think is a lot worse. I think I got it from my dad. I hate it because my fingers look so bad that people get grossed out by it so I'm very self concious about it. It really sucks when I pick so much that they start to bleed. I don't notice it most of the time so I always en up getting blood on my clothes.
