It usually takes the wart about a week to vanish if this is going to work.

Shapes and lines and crop crop circles of the little tumours. <br /><br />Don't laugh.

I saw a case once in which somebody had been scratched deeply by a thorn or somesuch, right through the center of a wart on the back his hand, and a row of the little suckers sprang up along the scratch within a few weeks.Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-31324462106921677402009-08-20T03:47:43.890-07:002009-08-20T03:47:43.890-07:00Had one on my face when I was a kid, up until I wa...Had one on my face when I was a kid, up until I was 17. Between the mouth and nose. Not a big one, but I knew it was there and had to shave carefully. Should have shaved it off. <br /><br />One of my younger brothers (3 years old or so at the time) jumped into my lap, grabbed my glasses which promptly slid down my face slicing the wart off. <br /><br />Hasn't grown back. That was 30 years ago.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680649113849271048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-43592034140286039732009-08-20T01:28:34.862-07:002009-08-20T01:28:34.862-07:00And what, pray tell, is wrong with warts?And what, pray tell, is wrong with warts?Dan Gambierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172075070150854447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-85648252999128830912009-08-19T17:10:38.205-07:002009-08-19T17:10:38.205-07:00Haven't heard the duct tape theory for warts b...Haven't heard the duct tape theory for warts before.

I said forget it. (Would have happily tried the duct tape if I'd known about it.)<br /><br />About a year later the warts got inflamed and itchy and then fell right off, one after the other.Tiel Aisha Ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994169558252043919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-19231364039216971812009-08-19T15:15:44.851-07:002009-08-19T15:15:44.851-07:00I used to use the sugar cure for hiccups back when...I used to use the sugar cure for hiccups back when I worked in the medical clinic.

Weird and I never did know what was causing it. We tried burning them off with (expensive) prescribed medicine -- got tipped to the duct tape thing and it cleared up the warts in no time, for the cost of a tenth of a roll of duct tape.<br /><br />Swallowing a spoonful of sugar really does fix hiccups, as well.Daniel Keys Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992599044462413412noreply@blogger.com
