- Another cure is to find a black snail unexpectedly and to tie it tight with a string onto a thorn bush. As soon as the snail decayed the wart was supposed to decay.
Another cure was to bleed the wart and to dip the knots of nine straws into the blood and to put them into a parcel for somebody else to find and whoever found the parcel your warts were supposed to go off your and on to his.- Collector
