Gloria, I guess you are tough. On the hands, around the nails or on fingertips, and if they are big or deeper, I understand that they hurt. I had the one in my hairline frozen, and it only hurt afterward. The actual procedure didn't hurt, but it felt like a burn when it thawed, but it was pretty irritated to begin with. And Yes! Either duct tape if it will stick, or electrical tape, anything that is not porous and will stick really good. It works. And of course, if your wart is on your face or hands, then the tape method is harder to comply with. (Who wants to walk around with a piece of tape on them? But then again, who wants a wart?)
Warts are viral, and either you have immunity or not. But even if you have immunity, I suppose if your immune system were compromised, then you could become more susceptible to warts. I believe that is why children get them more often than adults-their immature immune system is more susceptible, and they can go on to develop immunity later in life. Incidentally, it seems like I have seen more people with warts here in Houston than I ever have. Probably due to moisture and humidity. Just my thoughts.
