The Medical Properties of Duct tape...

Recently a group of researchers at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center reported remarkable success in treating warts in children with duct tape. Published in the October 2002 issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, it promises to bring a glimmer of hope to those patients living in pockets of the country not blessed with seventh sons or a year-round supply of garlic.

The Cincinnati team treated 25 children with warts by freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen for 10-20 seconds every 2-3 weeks. Another 26 children had a small piece of duct tape applied to their wart by a nurse. The duct tape stayed in place for six days, after which it was removed. The wart was soaked in water, and then gently irritated with an emery board or pumice stone, and the process repeated until the wart fell off.

The warts completely disappeared in 21 of 26 children using the duct tape therapy, while only 15 of 26 receiving the liquid nitrogen therapy improved. There were no major complications in the duct tape group, while many children receiving the conventional therapy complained of pain.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I’ll be seeing Older Sicilian Cousin again. This year, I’ll have a tip for him on how to get rich. Forget the garlic. Invest in duct tape.
