you arent the only one, I bite and pick mine ALL the time. Its a gross habit that I've tried to break several times...
I don't know what you could do to stop it, but if you figure it out drop me a line!

No I too suffer from this nasty habit..I've tried everything to keep myself from biting them but it doesn't help..Guess I'll never have long beautiful nails!

no, i bite my nails occasionally, but i always pick at them.

The nail-pbiting is ok, just nerves. The spider feeling is a more serious nervous complex. I had wondered why you pick at the skin on your arms. You may want to aks a professional counselor about the spider sensation so you don't scar yourself. See if they can help.

"Formication is an abnormal skin sensation similar to that of insects crawling over or within the skin. The word derives etymologically from the Latin word formica, meaning "ant". The causes of formication can be actual physical conditions, including diabetic neuropathy, menopause, skin cancer, or herpes zoster, and may also be physical or psychological side effect of substance abuse. Formication is a specific form of the general set of abnormal skin sensations known as paresthesia." -Wikipedia
