Get somebody to pay you a new coin for each one.They will then drop off. or wash them in rainwater when the moon's shing (difficult but not impossible) Lots of these magic cures seem to work, so I guess warts are self-limiting?

I've had a wart for ages, and I've just noticed it's going, nearly gone.
Obviously reading this article has a magical effect on them

Oh pants, I've now got one somewhere else. It hasn't gone, it's just migrated.

"Get somebody to pay you a new coin for each one." Is that like "selling your wart"? My mother used to always take about that as being the best way to get rid of a wart but I can't remember how she said it worked? Are there any more details on this?

Does it mean that the person you're selling it to contracts the wart?

No, it doesn't.I've only ever heard of women buying them, so perhaps you need to get a woman to buy them.
Or ask someone to rub a piece of paper on them and then completely burn the paper.HTH

wow -- all these magical cures almost make me wish I still had a wart to try them out -- almost.

I have also heard that rubbing the furry inside of a fresh banana skin on the wart will do the trick.

I am testing this at the moment. I have two warts, one is being zapped by Super Strength Bazooka and the other is banana magic.
Currently the banana is winning. Will post back with the final result.
