Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's unsanitary: Your nails harbor bacteria and germs, and are almost twice as dirty as fingers. What's more, swallowing dirty nails can lead to stomach problems. 2. It wears down your teeth: Gnawing your nails can put added stress on your pearly whites, which can lead to crooked teeth.
