"Depends on the environment you work in. Are they quite long?Hospitals are a nono as they can harbour germs, bacteria underneath much like rings, bangles etc which are all supposed to be removed before starting your shift. " Yes i work in a hospital. My nails are short and never been an issue before. There are several females with nails the same as me. I just know without them i will always be biting my nails so fingers will be in my mouth more which obviously will also spread germs. | |||

Aren't there stuff out there you can coat your nails with to prevent you biting, some hideous tasting substance? | |||

"I wear acrylic nails which are neither long or sharp but look good. My boss has now asked me to get them taken off as feels they could help spread the virus. I get acrylics on as i am a nail biter so without them on my fingers will constantly be in my mouth which i feel is more of a risk to myself and everyone else. I will need to do what i have been asked but do you think he is overreacting? " Definitely overreacting but I believe you'd have no choice. Sorry OP | |||

I do not realise i am biting my nails half the time. Just a bad habit i have always had. Oh and i love marmite too. | |||

If health are worker then they must come off. I believe where infection control is concerned it's regarding chipped polish hence the no nail varnish policy. A previous poster has already stated about nails being short. | |||

"How do you continuously bite your nails whilst wearing a mask ? " I do not wear a mask 24hrs a day. What meant my nails will get chewed at every opportunity. | |||

Thing is I've never met any girl who bites their nails, been with a few pillow biters though. I'll get my coat | |||

"Sorry OP, if you work as a clinician or have hands on with patients, you would already know that this is against policy due to infection control. " I work in a care home and it has always been allowed and even the seniors had their nails done. Now even the residents are not allowed to get their nails painted due to this virus. | |||

If the residents are complying,you don't have a choice. Super glue is good for preventing nail biting... A few drops on each lip | |||

Well you need to ask for the policy document. In an earlier post you put down you work in a Hospital, that is why people are referring to Infection control. | |||

" Well its not a hospital then, so you work in a care home are you a carer or a cleaner? If carer then no false nails as being doing personal care and infection control comes into play. | |||

"even pre covid they were banned as they are a risk to skin tears and other problems ...look at it another way if you had someone washing you would you want them with long nails ... its alway been in our policy false nails or even normal nails that are too long some of our residents have skin like tissue paper " But they aren’t long. I’d rather have someone with acrylic than bitten nails, it’s more hygienic and safer | |||

"Tell him no they are your real nails and to stop talking to you as the particles coming out his mouth are a health risk - he should sign or write down all instructions going forward. " Good way to get along with your boss | |||
