Today, I rubbed chilli powder on my fingers in an attempt to kick the habit of biting my nails. Ten minutes later I went to the bathroom. It still burns. FML

I believe they have a nail polish you can put on your nails that tastes bad when you try to bite them, seems a lot better than chili powder

Next time try vinegar or clear nail polish. They also make polish for this purpose.

You get points for the effort, but perhaps a little more thought should have been put into the execution.

Why were your fingers so involved in the waste elimination process?

Whatever you do, don't rub your eyes. Chill powder and water is essentially pepper spray.

put silk gloves on when you are at home and leave them on over night till you loose the habit! no chilli or disgusting nail polish or anything else will ever help! believe me, I tried everything..the silk gloves helped me loose the habit in 3 months after years of trying everything else!
