A bit of a mouthful!

[Sweet cheeks]

My friend is having trouble with her three year old daughter and her like of putting other poeple on her mouth and then biting down hard!!! Any suggestions other than wearing garlic, waving crosses and celotaping her mouth up?!?!

are you saying that the child bites people? If so it needs to be treated as though she kicked or hit them, with time outs, loss of treats or whatever NON VIOLENT discipline process that the child's parents use. People might also think about refusing to give the child hugs or attention when she bites or when she asks for attention refusing (at first) "because you bit me last time"

Tell her to rub something that tastes horrible on her hand (e.g. oxo cube or really strong garlic) and not exactly make her daughter bite her hand but, well you get the idea. It worked on my 2 1/2 year old neice.
