A member asked:
I have cut my nails with my teeth can it cause disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad habit: Bacteria, viruses and germs in general can be spread from the nail to your mouth and then to your stomach. These can bring you some stomach disorders (stomach flu, etc). Use a nail cutter device or nail scissors in the future. Nail biting is a bad habit and soon becomes an addiction. Good luck.
