    Anyone get warts on here ......I mean on your body.

    I had one on my hand on the side of he first finger. It hurt bad to just touch it. So what I have done, is take a bandaide and cut it in half longways.....Take half and save the other half.
    I put the skinny bandaide on the wart and let it there day and nite......Would you know in a week, it is almost gone.....
    I think it needs light and air to survive, and therefore , I starved it and it died?????

    Anyone else have that experience?? I like to know.

    Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus, HPV. Some of the home remedies work by stimulating the natural immune system to become more active and sometimes your immune system just takes care of the virus like it would any other viral infection and the warts go away.

    Milkweed is the main food source for the Monarch butterfly and down the center of Texas (including Houston and north to where I am) is on the migration path for the Monarch every year.

    milkweed

    :-D :-D

    That is what she said......They was trying to get the Monarch to come there and stay.
    It was awfully dry there in the summers.

    We never stop an think of those things here, they are so automatic. However we have to live somewhere.

    Texas is huge.
    HD has a brother living in Houston.

    Re: milkweed?/////

    Barb from what I have read Milkweed is actually an irritant. I would keep it well clear of warts and take care with it as a rule.

    Isn't Salicylic Acid the same thing that's in aspirin?
