Detailed explanation-1: -Biting your nails can raise the risk of catching a cold or other illness because you’re putting your unwashed hands in your mouth. When you bite your nails, those bacteria end up in your mouth and gut, where they can cause gastrointestinal infections that lead to diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion, chipping, and cracking: the grinding friction of teeth against nails can gradually wear the enamel away, or even cause teeth to chip or crack. Malocclusion and gaps: biting nails doesn’t just damage the teeth, it can also cause them to move, leading to malocclusions (problems with the bite) and gaps.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are a lot of germs under your fingernails So just imagine what you’re exposing your body to whenever you give these germs and dirt free access to your mouth. Yuck. Once the germs that were under your fingernails get into your body, your chances of illness increase significantly.
