I dont have this ugly habit of cutting my nail with teeth. Germ can be spread from the nail to your mouth and then to your stomach. These can bring you some stomach disorders. So kindly avoid biting nails with teeth.

Its so disgusting if you are going to cut off your nails by just biting it off. That's really gross. I always use a nail cutter when I have to trim my nails. This is the first time I hear about people cutting off their nails by biting it off. Its not right! I think its not hygienic.

No no no I would not use my teeth, I think that is not very nice or clean. I would certainly use a nail cutter device or similar. I know some people stress out and use their teeth on their fingers but I think they need to stop before it becomes a bad habit they can not stop. It really does not do wonders for the look of nails either. So yeah not a good option.

nailbiting is a habit and soon becomes an addiction. nail biters are often stressed up over certain things or assignments. i have seen school girls mostly and rarely boys biting their nails. i have seen some bite the nails before examination or concentrating on their homework. some bite the nail till nail beds which are pretty bed and raw. i do not have this habit and i crop my nails with a nail cropper. whoever has this habit, just pray and try to stop this habit. the habit can be overcome with will control and determination. it will go off, just trust in yourself. it will take a while and can be achieved. you look better with a pair of nicely grown and 'behaved' nails which are attractive and good lokking. God bless. Have a good day and weekend, yoursjannat.

No, I don't. I always use a nail clipper to trim my fingernails. To me, it's not a hygienic thing to do, as we know that our fingernails house a lot of germs. I know of people who bite their fingernails whenever they are nervous.

I use a nail cutter. It is not healthy to cut your nails by teeth. Yes when people are nervous they tend to bite their nails, this is a very bad habbit.

No I do not bite nails with teeth. I use mail cutter to cut my mails. No, I do not bite my teeth when I am tensed. Instead I shake my legs or pull my hairs. instead of biting nails.

No I don't do bite my nails. I have never had that habbit. However, I have had a nasty habit. When I was a kid, I used to bite the back of the pencil when I used to get stressed. I wonder how much wood I must have gone into my system like that.lol. Right now when I get stressed, I play with a strand of my hair. If you see me doing that, you can make out that something is making me nervous.

I have a long nail so will not bite it, I don't have habit like that because when I am child if I bite my nail mu mom will slap my hand, because he consider bite nail and chew it really not healthy especially if I haven't wash my hand. My best friend had a habit like that if stressed she will bite his nail until her hand have very short nail.

I do this a lot. It's called nail biting. It's a disorder I think. I bite my nails when I'm tense, stressed or sometimes when i feel that my nails are long. haha. Do you bite your nails?
