nail bitting

My son is three-years-old and will bite his nails until they bleed. I have searched for that stuff to put on his nails that tastes bad, but I can not find it. The doctor told me to keep something in his hands so that he stays occupied, it did not work. He will even bite his toe nails until they bleed if he has a chance. I do not know what to do because if I take my eyes off of him a second his fingers are in his mouth and he is bitting his nails.
