Origin[]

Shridhar Chillal (1938 -) currently holds the world record for the longer fingernails ever reached on a single hand reaching three hundred and fifty eight point one inches. The longest single nail is his thumbnail which measures seventy seven point eighty seven inches after he stopped cutting his nails in 1952. Proud of his accomplishments Chillal faces difficulties due to their weight. Such as the disfigurement of his fingers, loss of function in his left hand and nerve damage caused from the nails' immense weight which caused deafness in his left ear.

Effects[]

Using the post causes nails to grow uncontrollably until cut. If nails get too long they will cause physical issues.

The nails will grow at a rate of .0381 meters (1.5 inches) every four seconds. In two hundred and forty seconds the nails would grow to 2.286 meters (90 inches). If left unchecked the newly acquired weight on whichever hand would cause damage to the nerves which could lead to hearing and vision loss.
