How do you stop finger nail biting?

Answer by  duffitup51 (46)

Occupy your mouth with something else, such as gum. If your mouth is busy you are less likely to go at your nails. You can also purchase foul tasting nail polish at most drug stores, which will cause your brain to associate nail biting with the negative taste.

Nail biting can be stopped by applying any kind of cream or paint on your fingers for a few days. Or by putting on transparent gloves. This way you will not be able to bite the nails. And slowly you will stop biting.

The best way is to apply a Anti Biting polish to the nails. When you attempt to bite your nails, you will get a awful taste in your mouth. This is particularly helpful with children or people who don't realize they are doing it or who do not pay attention to what they are doing.

Problem with that is, that you do it unconsciously. Old school solution of my grandmother: rub vinegar or salt on the nail. Makes you aware of biting the nails.
