Proponents of duct tape have long held that it has a special and unique ability to remove warts!

Researchers at the University of Minnesota set out to prove, or disprove, the veracity of this thesis. Working with 90 be-warted adults, researchers covered half the warts with moleskin (a heavy cotton fabric used for bandages) and half with duct tape. At the end of the experiment 21% of the warts covered with duct tape were completely resolved, compared to 22% for the moleskin. Statistically, those are identical outcomes.

The conclusion is that any occlusion of the wart stands some chance of resolving it. McIver, that's one less roll of duct tape you'll have to carry!
