Put lotion on my hands and after about 5 minutes i forgot about it and starting biting my nails. will the lotion make me sick?

Without your providing the name of the lotion it is impossible to respond. You are welcome to start over with the name. Most are not toxic in minor amounts.

After about 5 minutes the lotion should be well absorbed and your nails should be short enough if nail biting is a habit to cause any significant lotion retention. Anxiety might be at the root of all and for that reason seeking medical attention would be justifiable.

No. Any of the usual lotions, even if a residue was present on your hands would not make you sick. 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, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
