I am not a hippie. i love my chemical compounds as much as the next guy. but i cannot deny the workiness of this home remedy.
if your kid has a wart on their hand, get some fresh garlic, peel a clove, and slice off a tiny piece close to the size of the wart. apply the garlic, and secure it in place using a band-aid. do this for 2 days and nights, using fresh garlic in the morning and evening. by about the 3rd day the wart will have blistered up into a blood blister. (gross, i know) (but, if you go to a doctor’s office and get it frozen, the same thing happens.)
after that, the blister scabs over, the whole thing falls off, and it’s like nothing ever happened. (this does not work for plantar’s warts. you’re on your own with those.)
