Duct tape and warts
Duct tape is used by some people to combat warts.
Duct Tape More Effective than Cryotherapy for Warts
Yet, Wikipedia announces:
A medical study announced on major news networks on October 15, 2002, stated that application of duct tape can be used as an effective treatment for warts.6 This treatment is often called by the name duct tape occlusion therapy. A more recent study claimed to have debunked these findings, pointing out the original researchers didn't actually examine participants to determine if the warts were in fact gone, but instead phoned participants and asked.7 In the 2006 study of 103 children, duct tape did not perform significantly better than a placebo. It should be noted, however, that in this study, duct tape was applied just one night a week, rather than the intended six days a week.
My daughter Kelly swears by it, though, so I'd try it (if I had warts)
