You can buy something to put on your nails. It has a bitter taste to stop you biting.

Im not sure what it is called.

putting on this stuff called 'liquid band aide' might help....it tastes horrible, and helps heal your cuticles at the same time. Another thing, if you use that hand cleaner gel...after the stuff dries, your fingers will taste horrible, and your hands are cleaned at the same time :)

I started wearing this stuff recently that is made in Russia. I heard about it on a YouTube video and decided to buy it. It was $12 and is called Mavala. It kinda made me just start going back to sucking my thumb, but it worked well on me not biting my nails lol
