Nobody seems to know for sure, but it's believed that when you rip the duct tape off (ouch!) it brings with it the viruses that are believed to be causing the wart in the first place. I'm sure it was one of these accidental things that happen in medical research sometimes, and get written up in "Stitches," a monthly "journal" of the Canadian Medical Association which is a humour magazine for doctors.
One night in ER. Male patient limps in with a very pained look on his face. Nurse: "What seems to be the matter?" Patient: "Well, I, er, um, it's kinda hard to explain. Could I just explain it to a doctor?" Nurse: "Sure. Dr. Smith is on call. She'll see you shortly." Patient: "Oh, man. Don't you have any other doctors?"
