Daily Dozen From the Medical Society of Pennsylvania
Aristocratic Asiatics used to sit around and watch their fingernails. This contemplative indulgence yielded nails one to two inches long, with longer specimens reported. Nails grow about one thirty second of an inch weekly, increasing in warmth, youth, and pregnancy. Fingernails reflect health, with closely bitten nails common in nervous individuals and bulbous, bluish nails seen in heart or lung disease. Transverse ridges signal severe illness while psoriasis causes pitting and color changes. Nails are formed from keratin and are fully developed at birth, requiring trimming to prevent skin scratches.
