This is a bad idea. I have horrible nail biting, to the point where i do it unconsciously, in my sleep, and even when talking, it just happens and there is little I can do about it. I tried this, and it kept me from biting fine, but it got in my eye. Now, i have been pepper sprayed before. I don't know if it was my imagination, but this hurt more.

I personally think that's a dangerous idea. You could, say, scratch a bump on somebodys arm and then they rub their eyes...owch!

What if you enjoy extreme hot foods and therefor chew your nails more often.

That's what I was thinking too! I don't happen to be someone one who enjoys hot sauce (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Clean-a-Penny-with-Hot-Sauce/) but most people I know do so this would probably make them walk around with their fingers in their mouth all day lol. 

Have you ever stuck your fingers in "the hottest hot sauce you can find" for five minutes? I've had my fingers in Taco Bell Fire sauce and gotten a chemical burn from it (again, http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Clean-a-Penny-with-Hot-Sauce/). I know the hot sauce fingers nail-biting and nose-picking trick is talked about a lot but I don't think most of these people have actually tried it.
