Nobody wants warts. How NOT to catch them...

If someone in your family has warts - you’re at risk...

A recent Dutch study is warning us that we’re more likely to catch warts at home than in public spaces. The study looked at school-aged children and found that those who had classmates or family members with warts were the most likely to wind up with warts themselves. Warts are contagious. You can get them from touching a wart on someone else’s body, or by coming in contact with surfaces that touched someone’s warts, such as towels or bathmats, which make the home the most likely wart zone.

If someone in your household has a wart, have them cover it up, wash hands frequently and be extra careful with shared gadgets such as the TV remote and telephones.
