would fall off and make a mess on my keyboard. I also did it before going out one night, so I rubbed some of it off before hopping on the subway. It just felt kind of sloppy and weird to have my fingers covered in salt. After removing some there was still the faintest hint of salt left behind. However, this didn’t really bother me.
Which brings me to another reason it didn’t really work. I love salt! I don’t love huge amounts of it like my fingers would pick up when they first were dipped in it. But the faint traces the salt would leave behind after most of it fell off did not keep me from putting my finger in my mouth. The only thing I will say is that the taste of salt would remind me that my nails were in my mouth when they weren’t supposed to be—not a great deterrent, but a good wakeup call.
But the real reason I can't recommend this one, is the sheer ickiness factor. If I thought the salt felt dirty, this felt even dirtier. My fingers felt sticky and stinky after I’d rubbed a pepper all over them. Even if I just kept it to the nail, the juices would drip all over my fingers. It felt like I needed to wash my hands after, because, honestly, I did! But then that would defeat the purpose of using the jalapeño.
when you feel the urge, especially one that keeps your hands busy, you may be able to avoid biting your nails.”Not really. There isn’t too much to say about this one because it simply did not work. I think that maybe if I were to continue doing it that I would subconsciously begin to reach for the rubber band instead of putting my nails between my teeth. However, my immediate reaction was to put my nails in my mouth, not go to my wrist.
My fear ended up working in my favor, though, when I tried a mindset practice that kept coming up in my research. Each time I found myself putting my hands in my mouth, I thought about where my hands had been that day, all the germs that might be on them, and how much I wanted not to get sick. Psychologist
