Wendy, That's kind of a cool story! But glad you didn't have to have it frozen off, it probably would have hurt a lot more than your self-removal. Supposedly, warts don't grow roots, but I have seen them removed surgically, and they do seem to have roots. With their own blood supply and all. All I know is that they are irritating as heck, and I hope none of you gets one!
