I'm amused by reading about folk remedies. Some of them are really stupid, but do they actually work? I have several warts and I came across this today while doing research on moles.
"Cut an apple into as many pieces as you have warts. Designate each piece to a to a wart and rub that piece on its wart. Now, put the apple back together and bury it. When the apple rots, the warts will be gone!"
Before I feel like an idiot and try that, is there any possible way that that would actually work? I'm anxious to hear.

Well, I tried the banana remedy for warts that I found on this board, and that worked! (tape a piece of banana skin on wart). Worth trying!!!

I like the part where you burry the apple. Does
that mean if you don't it Doesn't work or is it
just symbolic of geting rid of the wart ? How
can you tell when it rots if it is burried ? I
guess when the wart leaves.

When I was a kid, my great aunt told me to cut an X in the wart, sprinkle salt in it. Wrap it with gauze for 24 hours, then take it off, put the gauze in a box, wrap it up in pretty paper & ribbons...then drop the package on the street of town. Whoever opens that package will get your wart!
It didn't work!
I have suffered with warts all my life. One on my foot was getting extremely painful, so in desparation (thinking I'd need to have surgery on it) did a search, and came across "Wart Wonder" I've been using it faithfully and my wart that was the size of a 50 cent peice is now about the size of a quarter...I think I finally found the stuff that works. I took a picture of it, so I and others could see the progress. Good Luck!

I use cayenne pepper for many things and tried it
on a wort and it got rid of it. Sprinkled some
on wet gause and I always add salt with the
cayenne since most thing I used the cayenne for I
used to use just salt.

I have tried a piece of garlic held in place over the wart with a bandage and it did work. It did take a couple of weeks however.

Hi, Gordon.
Even conventional medicine has known for at least 50 years, that self-hypnosis is the most effective approach to chronic or recurrent warts, nearly anything--especially complex and crazy things--will work if you believe in it. Read Tom Sawyer.
Whoops, now I have ruined it for you :o).

I'm not sure, maybe a week. I put the bandaid on
and forgot about it. I guess because it was on my
ankle where the socks are tight and it was annoying
but the bandaid protected it from the socks so I
didn't check till the bandaid came off.
