Duct tape is a magical tool you can use to do just about anything—make a wallet, create a costume, temporarily hem your pants…

Here’s another one that’s a little stranger, but nonetheless true:

Researchers have found that duct tape is effective in treating warts. Just place a small piece over the growth and keep it in place for six days. On day six, remove the tape and soak the area in water. Then use a pumice stone or emery board to scrape it.

Repeat the 6-day routine until you notice a difference. If you don’t see results after three weeks, you likely need a more aggressive treatment.
