Another warty one!
A mate of my Dad's told me once that he had used the corkscrew bit of a Swiss Army Knife to "dig" a veruca out of his foot, and it worked! Wow thinks I who has had a few of the little fellas myself how did you do that? He said that he had had to go quite deep to get the root of it out and dig out any "little black bits" in there.

A few months later, when stricken with the dreaded foot herpes, I tried to do the same, although my trusty pocket knife did not come equipped with a corkscrew, so was able to use the knifey bit and the hoof pick to dig mine out, with limited sucess (a bit of a hole in my foot but almost no blood as it was mostly embedded in dry skin, and only the root had entered the soft bit of my foot, yum). Hurrah thinks I, no costly Chemist / chiropody bills for me!

However a few weeks later I ended up with a couple of extra wee warty friends where I had spread the virus about and ended up having to get them all "Bazooka"ed off. All gone now thankfully!

The moral of the story, there isn't one really, apart from the fairly obvious fact that digging holes in your foot with a blade, corkscrew or any other apendage sanctioned for everyday use by the Swiss Army is not only unsaniarty but damn stupid and painful to boot!

Nah, it worked for me
Spent aeons as a kid with warty hands. Back and forth to the chemist and doctor until eventually I excised them myself using a nail clipper. 100% success.

My Dad
did this to me when I was about 8! It left a jellyish hole in the side of my foot which I thought was amazing.
