What is: biting?

A bite is a wound received from the mouth of an animal, including humans. Animals may bite in self-defense, in an attempt to predate food, as well as part of normal interactions. Other bite attacks may be apparently unprovoked. Self inflicted bites occur in some genetic illnesses such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Peter: Not sure if this is the right group, but anyway. I've bitten my lower lip and can't help biting the resulting swelling at least once or twice a day. That prevents it healing. Any tips on how to handle this? TIA

Szaki: Is nail biting associated with diabetes? All my life I've been biting my nails, but when I went on low carb diet, had long periods of time, when I was not doing it. I even had periods, I had to trim my nails, grow so long. Thanks, JS
