How can I stop biting my fingers?!


Question: How can I stop biting my fingers!?
Three years ago ago, during the christmas exam period, I started biting my fingers!. I thought it was just because o the stress, but it never stopped!. Now I still do it, and my poor fingers are ruined!. I tried to stop, twice!. I tried wearing gloves (latex surgical gloves) indoors!. It worked for a short while, I stopped wearing them and the urge to bite was gone!. But after a week or so it just came back!.
I want my hands to look normal again!. Can anyone give me some hints and tips!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your lacking Iron, folic acis and b 12!.!.!. once you build up your levels you wont do it anymore!.

Iron deficency test: Go to the mirror and pull your lower eyelid and see if the color is red or flesh color!. If its flesh colored you are lacking enough iron and should take a herbal iron like Floradix!. It will take a month to see a difference!. Iron carrys oxygen in your blood and if you dont have it you will feel tired, cold hands and feet, headaches, RLS, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, poor sleep, pale skin (see thru), shortness of breath, fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, ringing in the ears, irregular heart beats, cracks in the corner of the mouth, dizziness, fainting, sore tongue and canker sores!. Add b12 and folic acid for best results!.

To help heal your skin faster you will need omega 3s!. Chia seeds have more than flax or even fish oil!., research and find information yourself!.

Go back to the gloves!. You can also get light-weight white cotton gloves at the drug store, by the Band-aids, should be more comfortable!.
Buy the stuff for babies to stop sucking their thumb - it tastes godawful and can help!.
Manicure the nails - actually file them nicely!. Then as you bring your hand to your mouth, you see the nails looking decent and won't want to mess them up!.

This is a habit, and like any habit, it takes work to break it!. Don't give up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know what you are going through - i have the same type issues!. My best piece of advice is to get in the habit of keeping your hands lubricated with a scented lotion!. The flavor/ scent should be something that is slightly adversive to you - not something that may be attrective for you to put in your mouth!. You can also get a bitter "polish" to paint on your biting spots!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can wrap your nails in tape!. it really helps!
also, there is this polish you can buy that tastes horrible, so when you bite, it's a total turn-off!. you can buy them at sally hansen, and probably other drug stores!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can buy special nail vanish which can stop you biting them because you dislike the taste

ask at a pharmacist

Also you can think about another think to do when you are stressed and boredWww@Answer-Health@Com
