I've had a problem with this from early childhood. I've eat my fingers and put fingers into my mouth without the knowing: why. It's past right now. It resulted in the broken skin of fingers which didn't wanted (somehow) to repair itself. More I've put in the article (and how to solve):
How to cure cracked fingers permanently (destroyed skin)? Everybody told me to – not to do that, because I'm getting "microbes" and germs every time when I do that. It somehow didn't "talk to me" or convince to not do that. It was an unbreakable
pattern, I've done it without even consciously thinking (noticing) it.
Situation changed when I've experienced anxiety attacks on nights. I've solved already the issue by
Extreme Tiredness? Feeling Tired (part III of the article), but it give
me enough to think about. On parasite cleanse (on which I'm currently) and studying and reading much books about the parasite problem I've came to a conclusion that by putting fingers in your mouth or eating fingers you're
reinfecting yourself with parasites. Furthermore I've even read that some type of parasite
forces you to put fingers to your mouth to
reinfect yourself. I won't tell you how the stressful and painful were those night, parasite (anxiety) attacks. You would probably never experience them and never would (despite that you're already infected with them, because it's impossible not to be: I would add also – on your born you're infected by your mother [even if she "doesn't" have any of parasites
– almost everybody has]), but the point remains that this habit isn't bringing anything to you and you're only destroying your nails, skin and reinfecting yourself with parasite eggs (new parasites). It's not smart to do that (make your skin, nail heal every time), loose energy thanks to habit of putting fingers to your mouth.
Why you're putting fingers inside your mouth? Can you reply on this question?
If the habit don't brings you any value and either it puts harm to your – firstly [1] you need to understand the reasons behind it, [2] you need to find tools / methods to induce a permanent change. Putting fingers inside your mouth (through eating skin, "eating" nails or to "clap" [see image above, on right] isn't sexy. It's childish and personally for me: it's
gay to put anything to your mouth except food & drink. It's not a domain of a truly adult person.
You won't break this pattern over night. If you're lacking of motivation why you should stop to do it and the reasons I've supplied aren't "talking enough", please do the
parasite cleanse.
I'm on 6th day, today and I'm feel like a completely new man! Link you've got on the top of the article. I believe – that doing it, itself – despite the
fact
it requires effort and
discipline it turns to be the
best thing which you can do to yourself at the moment (I've experienced unbelievable rise of my energy levels, also: "movement in my head stopped" – more:
SUCCESS STORIES: a global multi-billion (after min. 5-7 years) dollar annum site, under the :-) emoticon on right).
Firstly, you need to want to make the change, so
every time when you put (want to put) the finger in your mouth: you place a fist (like doing "rock" in the: rock, scissors, paper game). It alone should give you focus on your problem.
Next thing (and I recommend to do the parasite cleanse, because it induces motivation and probably kills the parasite which could cause the habit [information not confirmed]) is to reward yourself everyday in some way when you don't catch yourself on putting fingers into your mouth in any way.
You count the day, 21 days and you're free from the habit. It's so easy, but it's not so easy to start. You don't need much techniques to achieve it. You just stop to do that, the days pass and
you've made free yourself from the habit.
I've done it, childish habit ended. It's your turn, right now. Take the challenge, it's worth it.
Notice. I think that without appropriate motivation (like parasite cleanse which can be only very beneficial to you) it's pointless to start this challenge, because I think you would return to the habit soon or faster. It appears that starting anything (any challenge, task) is pointless without "giving wings" motivation. For me, it's a parasite cleanse, find your one
too. On the end you would probably find the same motivation as mine, presented in the article. Thank you.

MY COMMENT: The real reason why I've stopped to eat my fingers skin, nails is that I live with my mother in 36,6m2 (sq meter) home where when she does the toilet (puts shit) she doesn't uses paper, she washes her ass with fingers and water and after that she wipe the ass with the towel, "takes" soap into her hands, put some water and
uses the same towel for which
she wiped her dirty, with shit ass to dry her hands and she does (prepares) the food.
Whole my house is full of transparent shit and bacteria. No clue how to convince her...
