Usually when a child does that and you put something spicy on their nails and lips, it works. So maybe you'd like to try that with your mom and see if it works.

this is one of the sign of getting lot of tensions and stress. your mother do this when she is tens and stressed so try to check in that what is making her to do this.u observe her it is most of the time when she is watching TV or sitting alone.Your mother is thinking about diffrent things a lot that is why it is there u must check that what is making her nervous.What is the problem with her which is result in bitting lips and nails. Off course it will lead to infections a big problems in future.

Why don't you try to give her a gum to chew. My friend tried that because she has a habit like your mom.
