The Health Reason Why You Should Let Go Of Your Nail-biting Habit by bello5653(m) : 2:05 pm |
File photo: Onychophagia, also known as nailbiting  Onychophagia, or nail biting, is a pretty common habit, affecting an estimated 30 percent of adults, 45 percent of teens, and 30 percent of children. Nail biting can be caused by stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, or just being bored and fidgety and all these can seem harmless, but you should know that it can invite bacteria or fungi infections to enter into the body and blood stream, increasing your chances of contracting a cold or the flu. How nail biting leads to bacterial and fungal infections The most common pathogens that can be found under our nails are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Coryneform bacteria, which can enter the body through breaks in our skin or from ingesting them after biting your nails. If that is not enough reason to stop you, just imagine dermatophytic fungi, also known as ringworm, hanging out in your nail tissue as you open mouth and insert finger. How nail biting leads to cold and flu
Viruses that cause the flu also flourish on your skin, so wash your hands frequently with soap and water (or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer), and discourage nail biting by chewing gum. How nail biting can harm your teeth
You may want to ask your dentist about having a mouth guard which can help you to stop biting your nails—or at least minimize some of the damage it can cause. They may also help to suggest some other techniques to help you quit the habit for good.
