Yeah, but everyone knows if you cut a [tag]potato[/tag] in half, rub it on the [tag]wart[/tag] and then bury the potato in the [tag]backyard[/tag], the wart will go away.
Duct tape no magical cure for warts, study finds
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Duct tape does not work any better than doing nothing to cure warts in schoolchildren, Dutch researchers reported on Monday in a study that contradicts a popular theory about an easy way to get rid of the unattractive lumps.
The study of 103 children aged 4 to 12 showed the [tag]duct tape[/tag] worked only slightly better than using a corn pad, a sticky cushion that does not actually touch the wart and which was considered to be a placebo.
“After 6 weeks, the warts of 8 children (16 percent) in the duct tape group and the warts of 3 children (6 percent) in the placebo group had disappeared,” the researchers wrote in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
