If you have been applying liquid nitrogen to your wart for 8 straight hours, you have probably completely destroyed a few inches or so of skin surrounding it. And why the hell would you lick it?
Yes, I treated my warts (alone) with liquid nitrogen, for more than 30 years, and with a great success. But I don't understand lick, it is a joke ? And 8 hours is a dangerous time; 20-30 seconds is sufficient, you can repeat the procedure after 2-3 hours, but don't exaggerate !

Liquid Nitrogen kill warts?
While liquid nitrogen theoretically could be used as a wart remover, this is not done in practice due to the difficulty of maintaining nitrogen in the liquid state. Commercial wart remover products contain dimethyl ether and propane. These liquified compounds (which are gaseous at room temperature and pressure) boil upon releasing the pressure in the container, thereby causing a dramatic cooling effect. Because liquid nitrogen is so cold and can cause severe frost bite, it is used only by physicians to kill warts.

Is nitrogen used to burn warts and skin cancers off human skin?
Liquid nitrogen, which is very cold, is often used to freeze warts and skin cancers quickly so that they can be safely removed from the skin. This process is sometimes loosely called "burning off" the skin blemishes so treated, but it is not burning in the chemical sense. Any other cold liquid that does not adversely react with skin could be used as well, but liquid nitrogen is usually cheaper than any other available liquid. The chemical properties of nitrogen, other than non-reactivity, have nothing to do with this use of the element.
