Did You Know?

Duct tape has many uses in life...keeping stuff together, patching holes, making prom dresses and wart removal. Yes, wart removal. At the big man's last doctor appointment it was noted that he has a wart on his foot. Since he is so young they do not want to freeze it off and it was suggested that we either wait for the wart to go away on it's own or use Duct tape. What, Duct tape? Yup, the doctor said to put a piece of Duct tape on the wart before bedtime every night for three weeks and it should go away. There is an ingredient (read chemical) in the tape that apparently draws out the wart. Uhm...ok! This sounded kind of crazy, but we gave it a shot. We have been doing this for three weeks now and the wart is almost completely gone. Crazy! Obviously if you get a planter wart I would recommend to get it frozen off since it's much quicker than putting tape on your foot for three weeks, but if you are unable to get it frozen off then Duct tape is the way to go!
