Hot Tip: Don't Eat Her Pesto
LONDON (Reuters) - Lee Redmond, 65, earned an entry in the latest edition of Guinness World Records with the world's longest fingernails that have now reached a resplendent 24 feet 7 inches (7.51 metres).Redmond, who is from Utah, shares a centre spread in Guinness 2007, released on Thursday, with the proud purveyors of the world's stretchiest skin, narrowest waist and longest ear hair alongside a woman who can pop her eyeballs 11 millimetres ( 0.43 inches) out of their sockets.
Redmond, who started growing her fingernails 27 years ago, has a meticulous routine to keep them in tip-top condition.
"I clean them with a toothbrush when they get dirty and always keep them manicured," she said. Every day she treats them with warm olive oil and nail hardener.
However, the lifespan of her phenomenal talons is drawing to a close.
"I am going to have to take them off in November as I am looking after my husband who is suffering from Alzheimer's," she explained.
She still manages to shave her husband daily, but has to sleep on her side and rest her hands on the bed with her nails hanging off the edge.
She has attracted some unusual admirers over the years and was once offered money to have her nails nibbled. The prospective buyer suggested that he buy by the inch.
When asked the inevitable question about how on earth she goes to the toilet, Redmond said: "Very carefully."

that is completely disgusting.
hell, I think it's disgusting when I see someone with inch long fingernails, too, so you can imagine how THAT creeps me out..
Why, dear God, Why???????
Sweet jesus! I'm dry heaving! The fact that someone wanted to "nibble" on them is totally and completely revolting. Ewww....
I agree, it's totally nasty. I mean, how can she knit?
I'd like to see her get the earwax out of her ears with one of those babies. For that matter, how does she pick her nose or scratch her ass?
SICK!
when i was little, there was a cashier at the grocery store that had nails like this. i was so creeped out, i would always beg my mom not to go in her line. koo&grim's mail carrier lady has nails like this. one time when i was housesitting, i answered the door and just about vomited. since i'm housesitting for them this weekend, i'm praying they don't get a package that i have to sign for.
Sorta seems like a waste of time.
Grody to the max!
Yuck! She needs another hobby.
How do she wipe her ass? What a waste of human life @_@
