They say that to remove warts, you should put super glue on top of them. This apparently suffocates the warts until they fall off your body. I'm still not sure that this is exactly what's going on, but something similar is probably going on. It is a common wart removing technique that has worked for people I know in real life.
Let's say, hypothetically, that a person was tired of having multiple warts. I'll go ahead and say it's two warts, and since we're being totally hypothetical, I'll say it's also on fingers of opposite hands.
Wouldn't it be faster and easier to just super glue the two warts together, wait until it dries, and then rip your -fingers apart? I'm going to stream of conscience the worst possible outcome that pops into my mind.
In the worst-case scenario, only one wart gets ripped off and is now fused to the other in some sort of megawart that has already been proven to be half-indestructible. Knowing that not even the adhesion of super glue can tear the wart from your finger, there are two options left.
1) Amputate and hope that the wart doesn't grow appendages.
2) Cover your finger with a huge and unwieldy band-aid for the rest of your life or until you don't care anymore.
Both options have negative outcomes themselves. The first one is pretty obvious; you'd get blood all over your carpet if you amputate right then and there. As for the second one, just imagine the endless possibilities of bad times for the band-aid to fall off. It could be on a first date, or at church. The priest would likely try to exorcise you on the spot. You'd eventually have no friends because everyone would know you as the kid with the wart body, even if it's just one (..kind of) wart. Your life would crumble apart as even your family drifts away from you. Having nothing and no one in your life, you are driven to the woods. You howl at the moon. No one feels sadness from your departure, only relief.
So, hypothetically, if any one out there was thinking about getting rid of your warts that way, I think that should be enough warning not to do it. The risk is just too high if you super glue your warts together.
That's gross...hypothetically of course.
ReplyDeleteI say embrace your wart like that kid on the Fairly Oddparents who talked to his boil. Then you have a new bestfriend, and the situation is no longer depressing.
ReplyDeletei never said it was my wart
ReplyDeleteOk, well then hypothetically speaking, the wart should be embraced for reasons stated above.
ReplyDeleteI chewed one of mine off faster than it could grow back. Hypothetically...
ReplyDeletelol.... hypothetically, you can buy wart remover at a pharmacy. Get the kind that freezes your wart off, it works every time. The ones that are band-aids that are supposed to remove it over time don't work. Besides the freeze it yourself kit is a pretty neat little contraption. ... hypothetically of course.
ReplyDeletedon't chew it off.... its a virus ... it could spread. lol
ReplyDeleteyou sure know a lot about hypothetical warts..
