Say it ain’t so

My GF found this today. We leave for vacation on Friday.

Edit: I have very intense OCD around infestations, Bed Bugs being one of my biggest fears. I need to know if it is unrealistic to resolve this before Friday. I straight up will not let my GF into my house if I’m not confident it’s safe. I will cancel the trip. Please, if I get bedbugs it will send me into a month long spiral

Are there any foods/anything edible with a similar texture to skin? Ideally flavorless too?

I have a really bad habit of tearing up the skin on my fingers and around my nail beds and eating it. I just break it down between my front teeth and then with my back teeth. It’s very methodical and relaxing. I mean I’ve got this down to a science and can do it without drawing blood.

I’m trying to break the habit, especially cause I’m working in healthcare now and it’s not very sanitary. The closest thing I’ve gotten to it is popping boba by biting a small hole into it and then just chewing the outer layer once empty. The downside is it’s much thinner than skin and also does not have the same rough texture.

Are there any similar foods that can relieve this sensation for me? Or even just something edible in some way? I’ll chew plant stems and flower petals ifnitll give the same satisfaction.

Edit: for the sake of clarity I just wanna let it be known I’m only looking for the thickness of ONE layer of skin here. This post makes me sound like a zombie lol
