Question How to discourage nibbling?

Hai.
I've had my Winter White Dwarf hammy Dusty for just over 3 weeks now. And she seems to be obsessed with nibbling. It's great when it's her chew toy, but not when it's my palm! She's never made me draw blood, but it's quite irritating and sometimes kinda hurts. I want to know how to tell her that it's not OK to chow down on my hand without frightening or hurting her. Any suggestions?

Thankies, Amy

(P.S. I can tell she's nibbling and not biting as she has a good sniff and occasionally a lick before she sets her teeth in. Also, I wash my hands before and after handling Dusty so smelling like food is out of the question. It's baffled me )
