Nail Biting Adults

Adults are not exempted from this nervous habit of nail biting. Famous nail biters include Britney Spears, Eva Mendez, Lisa Marie Presley, and Elijah Wood.

Apart from being unsanitary, nail biting has its own share of adverse effects. Nail biting can easily carry bacteria and other germs from the nails to the mouth. Broken skin can also be susceptible to viral and bacterial infections.

Behavioral treatments are based in discouraging the habit and replace it with a more constructive habit. Control-It releases a bitter flavor on contact with the mouth which discourages the habit and has demonstrated its effectiveness due to all natural ingredients that aid in healing the damaged cuticles.
