It's going to sound gross but maybe try putting dabs of super hot sauce on the tips of your fingers like daves insanity sauce lol bet that will make you not want to chew them (; lol

You shouldn't if they're painted. I can't imagine it would hurt anything otherwise, but maybe try painting them and it will stop you from wanting to?
