When I was about 5, I constantly bit my nails. My mother told me if one was biting thier nailes, they were nervous. I had reason too... until nine. I kept it up til I got my braces.

My mother told me that if I bit my nails that the skin would grow over my nails and my fingers would look like drumsticks. That was enough to scare me to death.

When I was little, I bit my nails. My mother told me that if I didn't stop, I would look like Venus de Milo. I had no idea that was a famous armless statue. I thought for years it was an old Italian woman who lived on our street.

My mothers' friend once told me that if I bite my nails too much that the nail pieces would pop holes in me and when I drank water it would just flow out the holes. I can't remember how old I was, but I remember finding it funny and biting my nails anyway.

My dad and his mom told me when i was 5 that when you bit your fingernails and swollow them that fishes would grow in your stomach. And since that day i never bit my fingernails ever again. I found out that it was a lie when i asked my mom and she told me that it was fake but i still shouldnt bite my fingernails b/c it is bad for your health. That was a lie too.

i used to bite my nails and when i was littler my mom did everything thing imaginable to make me stop(hoy sauce,tape,gloves ect.) but nothing worked! Then my dad told me that if i dont stop i will have to have surgery and get a big scare down my belly button that would be there forever! Then he would say see i used to bite my nails and look what happened to me, then he would lift up his shirt and show me this huge scar under his belly button! i stopped very shortly after! i later learned that that scar was actually from a car accident

To try to get me to stop biting my nails, my Dad told me that fingernails don't digest, they just sit in the bottom of your stomach and collect there, and he knew of this guy who had bitten his nails so much that he had to have an operation. I kept biting anyway...

I use to be bad about chewing my nails as a kid. My uncle told me that if you chewed your nails, they would eventually turn into worms and maggots inside your stomach. He even said that on his island (Dominican Republic) there was a bum who always had worms and maggots coming out of his ears and nose cause he was a big nail biter as a kid too.

When I was little my daycare told me that if I bit my nails when I was nervous I would get worms in my stomach. I believed that for like 3 or 4 years and then one day I told my friends and they laughed at me and told me I was funny.
