Nail biting apart from ruining the way the nails look come with funny effects too, note that nail biting can also be a symptom of depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These straight forward effects are reasons to ever bite your nails:
1. Stomach Problems.
Biting
the nails is the perfect way to transfer germs from the mouth (from the
nails) to your guts which can be a big health scare.
2. Nail Infections
Nail
biting leaves room for the risk of nail infection. Biting the nails
cause tiny tears around the skin near the nails which leave room for
infection.
3. Destroys the nail bed
Excessively biting the nails ruins the nailbed
4. Transfer germs
The
nails (and hands) are usually filled with bacteria, fungus and other
harmful germs (reasons to always wash them as well as sanitize). When
you bite unclean nails/hands for instance you transfer these germs to
your mouth and increase the risk of an infection.
