NEWS: MAN DIED FROM HEART ATTACK CAUSED BY BITTING HIS NAILS

We all know that bitting your nails is unhealthy and dangerous. Nevertheless, we're not concious about how much can this simple action afect us. 

I've found an article, which is about a man called John Gardener (40) who just died in consequence of bitting his nails. His wife explains that he bite his nails as a habit but lately it had become an adiction. Doctors believe that he didn't noticed the pain (of biting the skin) so that's why he continued bitting them. Although the poor man fought hard to stop his bad habbit, he couldn't, and his nails were in poor condition and often bleeding. Due to those facts, he died because of the lack of blood and of an infection, his heart stopped.

All bad habits are bad for a reason. Although this story seems unrealistic, it's an example of what can cause to you have a bad addiction. I know it's not the same, but if for example you really love a book, you have that feeling that you have to finish it now: but time is running anyway, the world doesn't stop because you haven't finished the book. I gues that this is how being adicted to something is. You're not concious about the other things (most of the time those things are the rellevant ones) and that's why it's so dangerous. How can bitting your nails be that dangerous? How can watch a whole season on the internet be dangerous? You lose time, and time is gold.
