"I Quit!"

[iago]

Just for those of you who don't read vL's forum, I decided to, just for fun, give up nail-biting.  I've bited my nails all my life to the point where it's just a natural reflex. 

Last time I did it was March 29 (Tuesday) around 5:30pm.  Although I actually stopped on Monday night.  So it's been 7 days since 9 of my nails have been growing.

It seems like now that my nails have grown a bit (for like the first time ever), they get dirt trapped under them.  Having nails seems pretty unsanitary :/

I bite my nails to keep them short (nail clippers scare me)

[Joe]

Same. Cept the scaring part.

You say HAVING Nails is Unsanitary, well atleast you arent biting them with your mouth thats like 60 x more unsanitary....

When I bite them, they stay clean because they can't catch dirt.

Yeah but its Membrane Thats Pretty much like Chewing on Rhino horn (Which is made of Hardened Hair) when it first Appears out of the Skin

[iago]

So?

NOTE to Everyone Other than iago. Never Try to make a Point for iago to understand... What I was pointing out was that you were saying its Unsanitary to not Clip or Bite when its Far More Unsanitary to Bite or Chew w/e... Point Made?

[iago]

I don't see why.  Nails themselves, like you said, are just compressed hair.  Nothing dangerous there.

If your nails are short, there's no dirt, so nothing dangerous there.

If your nails aren't short, dirt builds up.  That's pretty unsanitary.

But eating them is like an Oxymoron... Why eat them when truthfully there is Bacteria on them... Where as if you DON'T eat them you can't be EATING or even CHEWING a Bacteria infested Enviornment. We agree to disagree. Because in a Sense yes the Longer they are the more they become easily dirtied but in the other they are being eaten even when there is TRUELY Bacteria on them anyways.

Eating is different than chewing.
