[TheForge] Re: Blacksmith medical cure

A slightly less invasive cure for warts - duct tape.

"Another treatment that has been proven effective in a respected medical
journal is duct tape, yes the silver sticky fiberous tape that you buy
in the hardware store. I'm not kidding, check New England Medical
Journal yourself. Cut out a circle the same size as the wart, place over
the wart for 3-4 days, remove for 1 day. Repeat this cycle 3-4 times, as
long as it takes to remove the wart."

My son has warts that pop occasionally and this has always worked for
him. Any strong tape would do, but duct tape is the coolest.
