If you've got reasonably high short term pain tolerance, here's how I got rid of mine. I had mine on my accelerator food, and I drive trucks, so was very painful for several weeks. I purchased a packet of sticky caustic pads from chemist, there are various sizes in the packet. I placed a pad on the wart, starting with appropriate size pad and working up to larger sizes over some days {can't remember how long this took now, it may have been weeks?}. As the pads burnt away the skin over time, and increasing the size of pads proportionately until the hole got big enough to enable me to get a pair of *GOOD* tweezers in there and I pulled the root out. There were three roots in total, the first two were very pointy {like a dart} and bled considerably for short time, the third and final root was totally different in appearance, it was rounded on the end and not pointy. I figured this was the main one, and the other two were 'saplings' shooting off from this one. After removing the rounded one, with nil bleeding to speak of, the whole thing cleared up. Be warned though, pulling these things out can be *extremely* painful, but only instant short term pain {shove a pencil between your teeth <g>}, so make sure you grab hold of a good length of the root before yanking it out, and ensure the hole is big enough to expose enough of the root. Took me several goes yanking at mine cos I had a crappy pair of tweezers, can't seem to buy tweezers with GRIP. N.

I have what seems to be a plantar's wart on both of my feet ... the left foot is worse than the right foot ... They are located on the top pads of both feet. The area around the warts is pretty hard, like a hard callous. Several months ago someone on this list said they had cured a wart by putting duct tape over the top of the wart, left it on for 7 days and the wart came out at that time with a long tail on it... I took your suggestion and placed duct tape on both feet over the warts .. I left the tape on the warts for 8 days... when I took it off, nothing had changed, I still had the warts. One strange thing did happen, since I put the duct tape on the wart on the left foot, the arch on my left foot itches incessantly, the itching never stops. Can anyone on this list please offer me some suggestions as to how to remove these warts without going to a doctor or using modern medicine? I'm not a fan of either of the above solutions. Question... if I use the duct tape again and leave it on longer than the 8 days, would I have any better success? Truly, I am at my wits end, the warts have gotten so sore it is making it very hard for me to walk .. When I do walk, afterwards my feet hurt so badly and I have a burning sensation around the wart area. Please, any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thank you .. Judy
