My 2 yr old daughter not only bites her finger nails down to the skin but she also bites her toe nails if she can't bite her fingers anymore. What would anyone recommend I can try to get her to stop?

They sell some stuff called 'bitter apple' that makes their hands taste yucky so they don't bite them... I also recently discovered 'Method hand sanitizer'... Target sells a lot of Method products... but that tastes nasty too... anything like that will deter them from biting their nails on hands or feet.
