The fact that gnawing nails - a bad habit, we are taught from childhood. And, indeed, even if we discard the aesthetic component, this habit can not only spoil the bite, but also the articles that cause the infection with harmful bacteria.
Pathogens in the human body cause severe bowel cramps and diarrhea. Moreover, during gnawing of the nails it is possible to damage the skin, which, together with bacteria, causes paronychia, a purulent disease of the periungual ridge, which ultimately leads the person to the surgeon's office.
In the process of research of the subungual area, doctors discovered the papilloma virus in it, which, once in the mouth, causes diseases of the teeth and gums. Experts say that nibbling nails in most cases is psychological. To combat this phenomenon, doctors recommend the use of special varnishes that have an unpleasant bitter taste that can discourage this harmful habit from a person.
