Gosh I hate warts. I get them very infrequently. As a kid they were on my elbows, but when I fell down the tyre tube tunnel I scraped them off on the way down and they never appeared there again. 2021-ish I had one on the side of my thumb, that I got rid of with the chemist bought salicylic acid.
Last few months there has been one on my big toe. I haven’t bothered with it because it wasn’t in the way or annoying. But I noticed the toe next to it developing them too. So I just acid-ed them again. So so annoying.
I got rid of a wart on my finger by rubbing milk thistle sap into it every day (had heaps in the back yard). Took time but it worked and it never came back. The milk thistle sap takes a layer off every time you apply.
so getting a dead cat in a sack , going to a graveyard and then throwing the sack while saying, wart follow cat and cat follow ghost and devil take ghost, that doesn’t work?
You gotta rub the wart with the cut side of half an onion, then bury the onion at a crossroads. As the onion decays, so does the wart. The cross roads is so the wart doesn’t know which way you went and can’t find you again.
Srsly, though. Warts are caused by a virus. Next time you go to your doctor discuss anti-viral drugs with them. You might be too young to be eligible for free ones, as the drugs are scarce. Still, if the warts are proliferating, that might be enough for the doc to prescribe.

I know about the virus. If they crop up again after this treatment I’ll chat to my Dr about it for sure. There’s only three atm, one big one and two small developing ones. They haven’t been this prolific since I was a kid tbh.
I’m not overly fussed, they’re on my toes so it isn’t embarrassing (not that anyone should be embarrassed of course)!
Funnily, the ones I had on my elbows as a kid (prep or grade 1) didn’t respond to freezing (dry ice). They’d just come back! It was only when I fell down that tyre tunnel and scraped the crap out them did they not return 😂 mum was pissed, she’d taken me to the Dr like three times for treatment prior 😂
A doctor once told me that after a treatment put a band aid on it and it will lessen the amount of treatments needed. So I did it and I swear it worked.
Oh yeah it’s to stop it getting air. I actually soaked small cotton balls in acetone (nail polish remover), put that on the warts and then a bandaid, but it didn’t do much. So I caved and got more salicylic acid today. I used nail varnish to protect the normal skin around it, and then the acid on the warts. It’s worked in the past, so I’m confident it will be enough :). But the Dr is right! A bandaid after or with treatment is always best! A non-breathable one is better too, to again, stop the wart from getting air.
Maybe my body is telling me to embrace my inner witch 😂
Who are the witches? Where do they come from? Maybe your best friend’s grandmother was one. Witches were wise, wise women they say. There’s a little witch in every woman today. Though I have to admit I don’t much care for the Bonnie Lockhart version of this song.
There’s quite a few of us famtrad witches about. Not to be confused with the candles/crystals/ceremonies posers. Can be hard to detect, until you do and you wonder why you ever wondered about that person.
body rant about warts lol

I have heard that. Also banana peel. Also duct tape.
Ooo next time I might try that! Not sure where I’d find them but it’s worth having a wander around to see if I can spot any!
Thank you!! 💜💜

Can I substitute the cat for a dead rat instead? 😂
Sure.

There’s also soaking wart in baby urine.
I would get some warts as a kid, I always used the things that freeze it off, worked a treat!

My mum straight up told me it ran in our family and not to mess with it.
I dunno. There have been a few odd things despite me being a bit skeptical but she was probably right about leaving it alone
I wouldn’t be surprised if my opas mum was one 😂 good ol’ German witch genes

My mum is a candle/crystals/Doreen Virtue guidance cards “psychic” (read: schizophrenic 😂). I stay wellllll away from that!
Other than admiring minerals as super pretty! I’m very much a magpie when it comes to minerals!
