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.

UDL: Immersion Experience 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
