Eating yourself - skin, hair, nails etc.

Yeah, I'm bad for this. Skin around my fingernails, I also more recently developed a bad habit of pulling my on my eyebrows. Sometimes I put the hair in my mouth, it just feels so good. My friend has a habit of chewing and pulling on his beard. I definitely attribute it to stress. As soon as I'm on vacation it stops.
 
I never understood the booger eating thing. Does it really look that appetizing to some people?

Sadly enough, some doctors say there may be health benefits to it. Essentially, the bacteria in them being ingested helps your immune system or some such, so they say allowing kids to do it isn't always a bad thing.

Also, I bite my nails till they are gone, then chew on the skin around them until they are raw. All my cuticle areas are red these days, and I have been known to rip off pieces till I bleed. Even using foul tasting chemicals didn't stop it, so now I just roll with it.
 
When I was young I used to enjoy wrapping my hand in toilet paper and catching my own feces to inspect them. One time I decided to lick an exceptional specimen just to see if it really tasted as bad as it smelled, but to my surprise it didn't actually taste of much. It's just a warm feeling on the tongue, slimy texture, and a slightly iron-like bitterness.

Nope nope nope

Anyone ever managed to quit biting their nails for example?
Yep!
I think what got me out of that habit was when I took up playing Classical Guitar a few years ago. After playing for a few weeks I loved it and knew I needed my nails if I wanted a nicer tone, so I just stopped. It wasn't really something I thought of, oddly enough, it just happened.
