ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for discouraging habitual finger sucking by delivering a small current to an individual's tongue. An electrical current is delivered by two electrodes mounted within an adhesive band which is wrapped around the individual's finger and the adhesive band having contact points where the electrodes are exposed to the individual's tongue. The current may be produced by the band itself by constructing the band in layers including a layer supplying an electrolyte and a layer supplying two dis-similar metals, thus producing a current that can be delivered directly to the individual's tongue.
