Another cure for warts...

A while back we talked about plantar warts - and how duct tape could remove them when over the counter remedies failed to do a thing. The duct tape really does work - although you must be patient. It works gradually.

Today I read about a cure that may be quicker: Lemon juice.

According to the article I read, one person used fresh lemon juice on a serious case of plantar warts that had not responded to any treatment. Using the fresh juice 3 or 4 times a day removed them within a month. Another woman wrote about warts on her daughter's hands... rubbing them with a slice of lemon 3 or 4 times a day removed them within 4 days.

Other home remedies for wart removal include topical applications of castor oil, vinegar, Listerine, and instant glue. The most inconvenient cure I found was banana peel. I can't quite imagine going through the day with a piece of banana peel taped to my skin.
