27 Bizarre Home Remedies That Actually Work

Cover Warts With Duct Tape

There are many unpleasant and costly methods to wart removal including burning it off with liquid nitrogen or using a chemical-laden wart cream. But before exploring those options, consider using one of the most universally handy household supplies: duct tape. By covering up a wart with duct tape, the seal will suffocate the skin virus responsible for the wart’s growth. After about a week, take off the tape and exfoliate skin gently and repeat taping until the wart is fully removed. A study that compared patients who used duct tape versus those who used liquid nitrogen found that 85% of duct tape patients got rid of their warts versus only 60% of the liquid nitrogen patients further proving duct tape can be used for just about everything.
