Nail Biting for the Fasting Person

Question
Does biting nails break the fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: He breaks his fast if he feels a taste in his throat from sucking his finger, but if he swallows a nail, he breaks his fast; because it entered through a recognized passage, and God knows best.
