Chess and Biting

Under what conditions is it okay to bite your opponent or the Ar-biter (see what I did there...) during an over the board game at a tournament? Please start your answer with “It is okay to bite your opponent or the arbiter if....”

Thanks!
It is okay to bite your opponent if your opponent is rated so much lower than you that you mistake them for a tasty snacc and you were just trying to have a starter before the main course xD

...or the arbiter if you both also happen to play rugby and the arbiter is on the other team, is blatantly offside at the maul and is trying to maliciously break your fingers whilst in an offside position and entirely out of sight of the referee, and you are bound in to the maul so as not to be able to properly defend yourself and your fingers, and biting them is the only way to get them to stop breaking your fingers and thereby preserve your future ability to earn a living as a surgeon. And since the referee is not looking, you will not get a red card for this entirely reasonable act of self defence (you will however get a yellow card but that is ok in the circumstances) This is of course an entirely theoretical situation and makes no reference to actual persons, living or dead...Ok this scenario is not exactly during an OTB game at a tournament but similar...

Now I know why you never bring up playing OTB chess with me ;-)
Shouldn't that be 'aargh biter'?

Anyway I lost a game of chess to a German once like that.

It is okay to bite your opponent or the arbiter if....they don’t take empassant, when’s it’s available.

If you become infected with the zombie poison? seriously this doesn't look healthy to do in an OTB tournament except it is happening in a Hotel...
It's only ok if you play the almost forgotten Luis Suarez defense:

1. e4 e5
2. bite your opponent. red card.
It's okay to bite your opponent if it's chessboxing and you're Mike Tyson.
