Duct Tape Can Remove Warts

Posted by timothy on from the and-tastes-great-roasted dept.

chris_calabrese writes "According to this Reuters article on Yahoo! News, "Duct tape, already legendary for its many uses, can also be deployed to get rid of warts, U.S. Army researchers said on Monday." The basic idea is to tape over the warts and suffocate them. Apparently more effective than the traditional cryotherapy too."

    It's not the doctors' fault lots of people are fat. Doctors have been saying the same thing for decades: eat healthy and excersise. How hard is it to excersise? Apparantly way too hard for most people. So put the blame where it needs to go: it's the lardo's fault he's a lardo. (My apologies to anyone with some kind of genetic condition -- "I'm not fat, it's glandular!" -HS)
