One of my bf does the same thing. There is some stuff you can buy, can't remember the name, but it is readily available at most drug stores, and it tastes awful. You paint it on just like polish but when you go to bite your nails it tastes really bad. I have the same problem as well. Good luck to you.

I use to bite my nails too.  But i learned about all the germs and bacteria but that didn't help me. The are 3 things you can do;

1: Go to a drug store like Shoppers, or Pharma Plus and get unbitable nails. It a Clear nail polish that you put on your nails and when you go to bit it it tastes bad.

2: Sub statute by chewing gum. Every time you feel like biting your nails pull out a piece of gum

3: Talk to you doctor they'll help you think of something to do.
