or cavity is formed.

foods or snacks, and
choose nutritious foods
like fruits, vegetables

some infections, such

as pinworms. Longer
fingernails can harbor
more dirt and bacteria
than short nails, thus
potentially contributing to
the spread of infection.
 Preventing Infection

 Keep nails short and

trim them often.
 Scrub the underside
of nails with soap
and water (or a nail
brush) every time
you wash your
hands.
 Clean any nail
grooming tools
before use.
 Avoid biting or
chewing nails.
 Avoid cutting
cuticles, as they act
as barriers to
prevent infection.
 Never rip or bite a
hangnail. Instead,
clip it with a clean,
sanitized nail
trimmer.
