An Old Wives Tale
When I was a child I remember another child in the area had a number of ugly warts on his hands and face. He shied away from the other children and kept himself to himself. But one day all of that changed. His mother had heard of an old wives tale about how to get rid of warts and she decided it might well be worth a try.
The remedy suggested was that you go and find a field somewhere and take some coins. Then you go to the corner of the field and bury the coins there with the intention that in return the warts will disappear. Now I don’t know the reason behind all of this and even if it is all a load of nonsense, but what I found most interesting is that the warts disappeared completely and to my knowledge have never come back.
So here is a case of a wart remedy that is quite mysterious but one that seemed to work. Weird yet wonderful, along with all of the other mysteries of life.
Here is a medical example of removal of warts by freezing
There are all kinds of other suggestions floating around of how to get rid of warts, from duct tape to freezing warts off with liquid nitrogen, to using all kinds of natural herbs and oils, cutting them off, burning them off using a laser or aid cream and so on. Sometimes they seem to disappear once and for all and at other times they come back, sometimes with a vengeance. Like a relative of mine quite recently who had his face warts surgically removed at the local hospital, only to find them come back again and more!
I think, along with many other human illnesses and conditions, the human papillomavirus, may thrive or die according to many other existing conditions, such as the strength of a person’s immune system and whether or not it has been compromised by other factors, one’s state of mind and emotional health, the methods we use to try to eradicate it and even unknown factors yet to be discovered. For many it remains a mystery.

When I was a little girl I had 4 or 5 warts on my fingers. I tried everthing and was so embarrased with them. My mother (who is a nurse) suggested that we have them burned off but first…she wanted to try a technique that she learned from an old lady. She took a thin white string and tied a knot around each wart. She told me that she was going to take the string and bury it in the ground somewhere. I was not allowed to know where. She said that when the string decays in the ground that my warts would fade away also. It was important that we believed that it would work…So I believe her….I dont remember how long it took but I looked down at my hands one day and realized that I no longer had any warts! I do not know how this worked but it did. Till this day I have never had another wart and I am 45 years old…
Mysteries about warts was long time been told. There are lot of remedies on it. Studies had been shown the efficacy of surgery in removing warts but the virus itself has not yet been resolve ti’l this days.
