Will Nail Bitting will cause any health problem if the nails are clean?

Nails are nothing but growing cells. If the nails are dirty then there is a chance of dirts entering the mouth when bitting. But if it is clean will the cells do any harm in our body.Will Nail Bitting will cause any health problem if the nails are clean?
Sorry all, but I have to call wrong answers here. YES--nail biting can cause health risks actually. When you bite your nails, you can cause them to be too short for one, which can cause them to get ingrown. This is also known as a hangnail. They are very painful, and if infected, may have to be removed by a DR. My son actually took to biting his toenails (I know--YUCK!) after he had bitten down all of his fingernails. He has his big toes so messed up now that they keep growing back in wrong and he has to go back in every 3-6 months and have needles stuck in his toes to have them locally anesthetized so they can cut away half of his toenail. Our friends son was so stubborn about his that he actually ended up with an infection that spread to his blood!! He was put on MAJOR antibiotics for quite a while because of it, and STILL needs to have his toenail removed entirely by a surgeon now!Will Nail Bitting will cause any health problem if the nails are clean?
No, but it can be hard on your teeth
There is some residual amount of germs and bacteria that collect under your fingernails but generally speaking - you can't really harm yourself by biting your nails.





However, you may want to think about what is making you so nervous. Nail biting is a compulsive habit which means that there is something you wish to say or do but you are afraid to say or do it... you may want to sit quietly and think about what has been bothering you.
No but the hands come in the most contact with germs so be careful if there is an open sore or something like that.
There is absolutely no health risk (assuming you're not breaking the skin). But if you bite them too far down below the fingertip, you will not be happy.
Not really, but it can potentially cause pain, bleeding, or even infection. Bitten nails don't look great either.
I've been biting my nails all my life even when they're dirty and nothing has happened to me. Well, I don't eat my nails as food, so my stomach is pretty safe. Bite your nails all you want, but don't eat them. It's pretty gross if you do, even grosser than biting the darn nails.
Nail bitting is a bad habit. so why do u bite nails.
