    Be careful, my brother used to do that and it got so bad he gnawed his fingers and hands down to the wrists and now he has no real hands to speak of. True story, too.

    My husband chewed his nails for many years until he discovered s horrible fungus that had started to grow under his nails. Apparently this is very common and normal and you as the parent are told when they are an infant. My advice: STOP
    BITING YOUR NAILS, NOW!!!!!
