You (or someone you know) might do these things when nervous, bored, anxious or stressed. They’re nervous habits, or tics – such as biting your nails, twirling your hair, chewing on pens or pencils, or touching your face often – and they could be bad for your health.
The following tics may not seem like they could cause much damage, but they could be harmful to your skin, scalp and teeth, according to Health magazine.
Speak with your primary care doctor if you or someone you know would like more information about nervous habits or anxiousness. For a physician referral call 1-800-BayCare (1-800-229-2273).
