Do you bite your toenails?

I read a discussion on here last night about biting you fingernails. So it made me think of this. Do you bite your toenails? When I was younger, I could put my foot in my mouth. Can you reach and get you foot to your mouth and bite the nails? Do you swallow them or spit them out, or do you find them a tasty snack?

oh gross! I've never had much of a habit biting nails, but i have never bitten my toenails. The idea of putting anyone's, even my own foot in my mouth is just really repulsive to me. xD

That was a bit harsh beaking up with him because of it. But then I agree some people just hate feet and find it disgusting.

Maybe I get a bit nervous around UFOs and nibble on my nails with fear of being abducted.

Hey I can do that!!...and one time on a dare I did!!....I think I would prefer chocolate covered however!!!....as far as putting ones foot in ones mouth..I know a lot of people who do that regularly!!..lol

Chocolate covered toenails, I think you might have invented a new snack food. As for putting ones foot in their mouth, I do it regularly lol.

Thats a good point, if they were chocolate covered I would have no fingers left.

Since fingernails grow 3-4 times faster than toenails, wouldnt it be more feasible to make chocolate covered fingernails??...At least then we wouldnt have to wait as long to have more!!!...lol...oh dear, what have I got myself into?...lololol

I can put my foot in my mouth if I want to. I don't really want to though. I do not bite my toenails or fingernails. Biting toenails would be so gross because there is probably all kinds of crap under the toenails. That is just yucky. So no I could but would not bite my toenails.

Yes, you never know what might be lurking under the toenails so it is a wise choice not to bite them.

Well, I don't bite them, just as I don't bite my fingernails. But I do tear at them as well, so my toe-nails (just like my fingernails) do not need any cutting.

I don't. That's disgusting! LOL But I've seen a lot of shows that make fun of the character by showing him biting his toe nails. It's really, seriously disgusting. I'm squeamish when it comes to germs. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I can still get my foot to my mouth but I wouldn't bite my ton nails. My son did that the other night.. and I asked him what he was doing... he said cutting my tonails with my teeth, it's better that way. I just had to laugh and go on. Kids will be kids.

hahah.. maybe when you are yet young or a little kid, you can bite your toe nails,, I have seen many babies playing with their toenails putting it in their mouth but I did not see any normal adult who bit their toenails. I think it is too hard to reach our mouth to our feet? Lol..

No, I don't bite my nails, and I don't like when other people do that. I find it unhygienic and unethical. Nails save all the filth you go through the day, and imagine you eat it all after get home, yuck!
