W is for Warts

OK, so that isn't going to grab anyone's attention, but it is really the cure for warts that I wanted to share with you.  None of your proper doctory cures here.  I discovered that you are supposed to be able to hypnotise warts:  I really don't know how you get the little devils to keep watching that swinging watch, but it is supposed to work.

Another interesting cure was acid. The liquid sort which would probably have the law round digging up your carpets to try and find all those other dubious items that get mooted about as ingredients for making 'things which you shouldn't'.  I just know I couldn't pronounce the right acid and  might have to resort to vinegar which is said to be the panacea for an awful lot of things.

The inside of a banana skin rubbed over the wart is also cited as the cure, though someone in China was moaning that it just turned the warts black, though it could have been the weather.

Anyone got any real cures?  I haven't got a wart at the moment but would like to be prepared.

One method which has worked for me is to rub the wart with bulgar wheat, which is then tied up in a little parcel. You take the parcel to a crossroads, close your eyes, and spin around quickly before flinging it away at random. Whichever person finds the parcel will get the warts, and you will find yourself smooth-skinned once more.

Worth bearing in mind.

I like the whirly around aspect of that bulgar wheat remedy, but it seems mean to foist your warts on someone who pounces upon the cute little parcel thinking, "Oh goody! A surprise just for me!"
I've heard that applying duct tape over the wart gets rid of it. I'd chalk that up to the legendary ability of duct tape to fix anything, a kind of urban legend, but the person who told me was a doctor.
On the other hand, there's no giddy whirling around to this, so I'd try the other method first.

I can't help at all I'm sorry to say! I've never had any, and hope that it stays that way.
Have a good weekend.
