I couldn't decide to call this post THUMBIE or HANDY-PUS.
In the end, I decided on THUMBIE because Bryan calls me that in the affectionate way my Indian friends would call their elder brothers. Very endearing in an irritating way.
This cigarette pack worthy photo is to show ALL YOU NAIL-BITERS out there what can happen to you if you persist. Apparently, I bit off more than I could chew and caused bacteria to enter the cavity where thumb-skin used to be. They had a SWELL time in there and invited friends to join them UNDER my nail and BESIDE my cuticle before causing my thumb to double in size and a fever to set in.
So please, if you need a visual deterrent for you to stop biting your nails, look no further.

the same thing happened to me recently, on my 4th finger. i let it burst by itself so for a while it looked like i had highlighted my finger. it's hard to quit biting.
