What do you think???
Yuck!
I read a news article once about a scientific study that showed that
people who bite their fingernails tend to have stronger immune systems.

Plus, they save by not having to buy nail clippers.
OTOH, that may be a false saving because it's offset by increased
tooth wear and higher dental bills.

You only have higher dental bills if you go to the dentist.

Clipping your nails does the same thing. Are you saying we shouldn't
trim our nails at all?

Which is precisely why people who bite their nails tend to have better
immune systems. (Of course if you have a depressed immune system because
of some other ailment, things change.) I wish I could find my cite for
this, but in the mean time: "...the modern obsession with cleanliness
may be counterproductive"

Depends on how you do it.
We're not talking about biting them back to your knuckles. (Actually,
since the thread was started by a troll, we're not talking seriously
about anything.)
But if you let them get too long, they're apt to catch on something
and tear. And that will probably extend back to the part of the nail
where it hurts. I've got one of those right now, dunno how I did it,
probably working on a car. Only thing to do is to try to nurse it
along for a few days, and wait for it to grow out more. True, there
are better ways to cut them, but most of the time when you notice the
nail is getting long, you don't happen to have a nail clipper with
you. Unless you have dentures, you've always got your teeth with you.

That's true. But if my nails were "very attractive" they wouldn't go
well with the rest of my hands.

Some Recipes , people!

When the Power of Love,replaces the Love of Power.
that's Evolution.
I also found it interesting how when presented with the topic, some
thought of biting the nails to the point that it was self-destructive
while others considered it as simply another method to maintain good
health.
Some people think I keep my nails a little on the long side for a man,
when/if they find out I bite them, they are quite surprised...

Pick your nose and eat the buggers: it may be gross, but it actually
does boost the immune system.
