Nail biting is a common habit that not only
affects the appearance of your nails, but also puts your health at risk. In
case you know someone who’s into this habit, do your best to make them go out
of it because their life might depend on it!
A recent case of a 40-year-old man who died
of severe infection caused by nail biting shook the public. Namely, 40-year-old
John Gardener never gave up biting his nails, even though he was strictly
ordered to by his doctors. What happened was he got severe infection that
caused his heart to stop.
This common habit is dangerous for a number
of reasons. According to doctors, John Gardener bit his nails and fingers to
the point of bleeding, a habit that destroyed not only his nails, but also his
fingertips, making them extremely sensitive to pain.
“John’s nails were always in a bad condition.
They were often bleeding when he came,” said his doctors. As John had
previously explained, he got into this habit because of anxiety and it only
worsened when he was depressed.
The bleeding only got worse and one of his
wounds became infected. As antibiotics couldn’t do anything about his
condition, doctors had to amputate his fingertips. Although he seemed to feel
better at first, this improvement didn’t last. In the words of his surgeon,
only a couple of days after he turned 40, John suffered from heart failure due
to a septic infection.
So, if you know anyone who’s in the habit of
biting their nails, warn them immediately. You could be saving their life!
