I bite my nails badly, have done my whole life, I chew and swallow my clippings, my theory is that nails contain calcium so by eating the clippings you are putting calcium back into your body eliminating the need to drink sanatogen......do ya feeeel awright :01:

but nails are made from waste stuff from your body, plus think of all the skank that gets under your nails, its bad enough i bite them but fuck swallowing them too
