And you want duct tape....Why???



Research on duct tape was published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine (Oct. 2002). Parents were told to cover the wart with a piece of duct tape for six days. If it fell off, they were to replace it. At the end of the six days, they removed the tape, soaked the wart in warm water and then filed it down with an emery board. The duct tape was replaced the following day and the process was repeated for two months or until the wart disappeared. In this study, 85 percent of the children treated with duct tape were cured. Most warts disappeared within the first month. In fact, the study found that duct tape worked better than freezing warts off.

Crystal called the other night wanting to know if we had any duct tape....LOL....Geez!  We Did Not want to know...why...She said "T" needed it to clean his motorcycle....ok....Happy night everyone!

You don't want to use duct tape as a romance gadget, my old secretary told me about removing all the hair and most of the hide off of her husband's arm during a night of play/passion/foolishness, HA. I laughed so hard over that story I wet myself.

I used it to hold an old copier together at the tax office and James patched a crop duster wing with it once, both held up really good!

Brenda said...

P.S. You can also remove a wart in about 2 weeks by having someone buy it for one or two pennies. Then you bury the pennies under a doorstep.

Hey, it works!

I haven't heard of duct tape. Maybe we use another name of it.
But it seems to work, and it is smart...It can be used for several things, I guess.
