Can you go swimming after getting a wart frozen?
I don't believe they will improve your ability to swim. You should probably stay away from groups of people in hot tubs who might resent being infected. Otherwise, follow your doctor's advice and, if it hurts, don't do it.
How do you get warts?
Warts are caused by a virus, specifically the human papillomavirus. This virus infects your skin, specifically your dermis. This it does by entering through cuts and 'microcuts', submicroscopic cuts that let in pathogens. So touching a wart or a surface that has been touched by warty material lets in infection and makes you get warts.
Can plantar warts be the cause of a positive HPV result on a pap smear or is it only caused by genital warts?
No, plantar warts cannot cause a positive pap smear. For HPV to show up on a pap smear you would have had to be exposed to it during intercourse. Also you can be positive for HPV on pap smear and not have "warts". There are many different strains of HPV and some of them do not cause warts. There are five different strains of the HPV virus that have been linked to cervical cancer and this is why it is important you get tested during a Pap smear. However, the kinds of HPV that are linked to cancer don't usually cause warts. So remember this, just because you don't have warts doesn't mean you don't have some form of HPV. HPV is actually very common and most people who are sexually active have been exposed to some kind of it. If your pap comes back positive for HPV there are many things that your gynecologist can do to prevent progression to cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV, but the symptoms can be treated. Talk to your doctor about whether you should treat visible warts. They usually go away with no treatment, but they may also spread. Most people decide to treat them because of the symptoms or because of how the warts look. But if you don't have symptoms and are not worried about how the warts look, you can wait and see if the warts go away. If you do decide to treat genital warts, talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. There are prescription medicines you or your doctor can put on the warts. Or your doctor can remove them with lasers, surgery, or by freezing them off. Even if you treat visible warts or your warts go away without treatment, the HPV infection can stay in your body's cells. It is possible to spread genital warts to your partner even if you have no signs of them. There are over 100 different types of HPV viruses and you can get planter warts from someone who has genital warts. It is a virus that infects your system not just one area of skin. You can get them on your hands, feet, mucus glands(mouth,throat,ect.)genital areas, face, and anus. The virus can be transmitted by direct contact of the infected area to an unaffected area or by touching the warts on someone and then touching your own skin or area of access. The virus can also be spread sexually which is most common and by using the same towel or other personal article that comes in contact with the exposed warts of someone who is affected. The virus can stay in your system for years and is possible to never go away. If you have a positive pap you need to make sure you do a follow up exam so they can do a visual cervical check because not all genital warts are external. You can get them on your cervical walls and cervix where they will go unseen unless you ask for a visual exam for them. This exam is somewhat uncomfortable because they have to move the speculum around to inspect it. Even though planter warts won't cause a positive pap, you can get planter warts from the same HPV virus strain that causes a positive pap to appear.

Signs of Genital Warts?
Genital warts is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and it is caused by certain forms of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It can be transmitted any time a person has direct contact through the skin during sexual intercourse, anal sex, and oral sex. Everyone that is exposed to virus will not necessarily contract genital warts and it tends to be more common in people that have an immune system that has already been compromised. Genital warts are highly recognizable and easy to spot. They tend to appear in patches and they look like hardened, raised bumps. They do not look like pimples since they grow in patches and the skin is much rougher. They will tend to form around the genitals and anus. In women, it is usually found around the vagina or anus and in men it can be found on the penis, scrotum, or the anus. On rare occasions it has also been found in the mouth and throat of some people. The symptoms of genital warts are basically just the appearance of the actual warts. There is not really any type of warning sign for them until they appear. It is possible for people to have the virus for several months or even years in some cases, but they will not have any symptom of the illness until much later. In general, it will usually take around 1-6 months for the warts to manifest. They will not usually have any other symptoms related to it, but some people have reported itching and burning at times. There are some other STDs that have similar symptoms, so it is possible that the patient may have something else until they have been accurately diagnosed by a licensed physician. There are is no cure for genital warts, but there are ways to reduce the symptoms in terms of the appearance of the bumps through certain medical procedures and ointments.
In 'Tom Sawyer' why do Tom and Huck disagree on how to get rid of warts?
The two boys were very superstitious, just like most people in their town. They didn't have actual cures for warts, but strange rituals meant to magically send them away. Each thought they had their info from reliable sources (someone who told someone who knew someone).
Where did the saying Toads cause warts come from?
This is an old idea from European and American folk medicine. It would be impossible to determine exactly when the saying started, but it's been around for a long time. It stems from the principle of "like causes like" - toads have warts, so if you touch them you will get warts. This makes sense in some situations. For example, if you touch someone who is sick you are likely to get sick as well. A toad's "warts', however, are not really warts - they are just bumps on the skin, and are not contagious.
