It can be hard to find sometimes. I find it with the canning stuff usually
Quoting armyvet06: I will have to look into that next time I get groceries.
Quoting momtodab: Ugh it's a spice. And use it after every hand wash. Smart phones suck
Quoting momtodab: Sorry I'm mobile. But this stuff had an awful taste. Worked for my 5 yr old. Id dip his fingers in it after he waged then every time to make sure the powder was under the nail good. He hated it but it only took about 3 weeks. He would chew his nails until they bled. It had to stop.
Good luck
Quoting momtodab: Alum I think I'd vote it'd spelled. It's a slice used for canning some veggies.

I had to put bandaids on all ten of my ds fingers to get him to stop biting them.

They do sell a product in pharmacy (don't know the name) it's for nail biting and it supposedly taste absolutely horrible. I'm sure the pharmacist would know what it is if asked. I would also ask the pharmacist about if the child rubs her eyes what the effects would be if it would burn like peppers. If it's made for children I would assume it wouldn't.
My daughter (now 16) used to bite her nails from the time she about 3 for a couple years. I didn't use anything I would just tell her to stop when i seen her but she grew out of it and just quit biting them.
