When you are worried and bored, do you bite your nails? If yes, I wonder if you still have nails on your fingers. Hmmm… maybe your fingers are about to drop off!

Do you know that biting your fingernails is very unhealthy? Besides, it is a bad habit!

Fingers are very busy parts of the body. They pick up tiny things. They carry big things. They write. They greet people. They also scratch our bodies when they itch.

With all the work that fingers do, millions of different germs hide beneath the nails. So when you bite your fingernails, you actually eat up all these germs. Disgusting!

These germs cause various diseases in your body which make you sick. Before you feel like biting your fingernails, think about all the dirty things you touch all day long and all the germs hiding beneath your nails.

Instead of biting your nails, use your hands to do something else like drawing, writing, cleaning your shoes or even play a game.

You will no longer be worried and bored and this means you will not bite your fingernails!  Isn’t this great?
