Engagement & Common Warts:A Relationship like Peanut Butter & Jelly

What a simile! What are common warts?

Warts are caused by the DNA-containing human papillomavirus (HPV).

There are at least 63 genetically different types of HPVs.

We are in contact with warts every day.

75% of us will contract the common wart during our teaching career.

“This is lame. I won’t get warts.”

You’re Wrong!

Wart viruses are contagious. Warts can spread by contact with the wart or something that touched the wart. (like student papers)

The entry site is often an area of recent injury. Incubation: 1-8 months.

School children: 20% have common warts.

The Wart Likert Scale

You are more likely to get warts if you

bite your nails or pick at hangnails; or have

cuts or scrapes on your hands.

Virus + microabrasion +

maceration = wart

Examine your hands and assign yourself a score

based on the Likert scale above.

1 2 3 4 50 abrasions 1-2 3-4 > 4

macerated

Prevention

Avoid touching warts on others or touching them on yourself. Cover abrasions every day.

Attack the virus! Bleach kills HPV.

Normal laundering in warm water with detergent will take care of the virus on towels and clothing.

Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer.

What do I do if I get them?

2002 Study--Enrolled 61 people with common warts

Half got liquid nitrogen--the others had the warts covered with duct tape for 2 months

Measured complete resolution

Response rate with nitrogen=60%

Response rate with duct tape= 85%

Duct tape… The Miracle Cure

How-To

Place several layers of waterproof adhesive tape over the wart region (duct tape).

Do not remove the tape for 6-1/2 days. Then take off the tape and open the area to the air for 12 hours.

Reapply tape for another 6-1/2 days.

The tape works best in the region around the fingernail.

Tape works because the air-tight, moist environment under the tape does not allow the virus to grow and reproduce
