#1. what happens to (habitual nail biting) fingernails in the digestive system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing. The nails move down the intestine and get excreted with feces. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
