REASON # 235,452,789 WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BITE YOUR FINGERNAILS!!!

I've been a nail biter for all of my life. Never really had a problem...BEFORE...This is what my pinkie finger looked like ONE day after biting a hang nail....after 2 days it was swollen to about 4 times it normal size, filled with pus, purple and so painful that I would rather give birth to another child, sans epidural, than experience this pain again. It looks almost normal in this picture, compared to what it really looked like. The throbbing was horrid, and if I accidently just 'grazed' it? My breath was taken away, no sounds would come out of my mouth, and tears just welled up in my pretty brown eyes....it took a week of antibiotics, constant application of an anti-bacterial lotion and a medicated bandage to even get it back to pseudo-normal size. There is purplish, dead skin, but it doesn't hurt!! So, I am now a pain-free blogger and ex-nail biter. Ain't y'all so glad I share stuff with y'all? LOLOLOL
