    Here is another cure for warts. Get a dandelion flower and rub the stem on your warts. In the stem there is stuff like milk and it is that that kills the warts.

    There is a cure for warts. Count the warts and put the same number of stones in a bag. Then go out early in the morning and throw the bag away. The first person that picks up the bag takes the warts and they will go from your hands.
