    Haha! You put this under the Food and Drink category instead of the Habits category.

    Fingernails are not food.

    Well, nails collect almost everything you touch and interact with during the day so you are eating poop too...technically.

    Well...its not very good to eating your nails.It will not kill you but it can wear down tooth enamel and cause damage to teeth. Also, the area under the fingernails is one of the dirtiest places on your body. Putting your hands in your mouth (without washing them first) is a way to get sick and biting your nails only makes things worse.sharp nails you swallow could damage the epithelial lining of your esophagus and stomach (giving a possibility for infections), In the end you will get:

        * Split and fractured nails.
        * Bleeding around the nails.
        * Infections.
        * Pain.
    So um try to stop this bad habit 0.0

    Not normal. I've heard of nail biting, but to actually swallow them? Doesn't the feel of them in your mouth and throat make you cringe? Anyway, I've never met anyone personally who does it, but I'm certain you're not the only one.
