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 liquid nitrogen poisonous?
Liquid nitrogen is not poisonous, however, it can be dangerous if it comes into contact with skin or if it is inhaled because of its extremely low temperatures. It can cause severe burns or frostbite upon contact with skin and can displace oxygen in the air if inhaled in high concentrations.
How excess nitrogen from agriculture can kill fish?
Excess nitrogen from agriculture can lead to eutrophication in bodies of water. This excess nitrogen causes an overgrowth of algae, which reduces oxygen levels in the water when it dies and decomposes. This low oxygen level can suffocate fish and other aquatic organisms, leading to fish kills.
Can nitrogen kill us?
Yes and no. Every living organism needs a small amount of nitrogen to survive. Nitrogen helps make up DNA. Every time we breathe in, we are taking nitrogen in the air into our bodies, but our bodies can't use the nitrogen in this form, so it doesn't harm us in this way and we just exhale it right back out. We can only get nitrogen in small amounts through the foods we eat. Nitrogen in this shape and form is not harmful to us. However, nitrogen is the main reason for the holes in the ozone layer. Fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels, for example, changes nitrogen into a harmful pollutant.
Can nitrogen gas kill you?
Yes, it is odorless, colorless and tasteless so you wouldn't notice that you were being asphyxiated if nitrogen was the only gas you were breathing. You need a mixture of air that contains at least 19.5% oxygen to support life.
What would happen if earth had no nitrogen?
Well, isn't that an interesting thought! If Earth didn't have nitrogen, plants wouldn't be able to grow properly because nitrogen is a key nutrient for their growth. This could disrupt the entire food chain, affecting animals and humans too. But don't worry, Earth has just the right amount of nitrogen to keep everything in balance and thriving. Just like in painting, every element has its place on the canvas to create a beautiful masterpiece.
Can the use of liquid nitrogen on your skin cause an allergic rash?
No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue. It is a bad idea to allow your skin to come into contact with liquid nitrogen. Note: Some warts are "frozen" in an effort to remove them. In a clinical setting, liquid nitrogen is sometimes used to super-cool an instrument so the wart can be frozen. But this is a medical procedure and is done by professionals. Liquid nitrogen is not something that should be looked upon as a "toy" or "recreational plaything" by anyone.

Can you kill warts with duct tape?
yes, there are a few studies that seem to sugest that duct tape is effective when it comes to removing warts. Some of these studies even seem to indicate that the duct tape wart removal method may even be more effective than conventional method such as freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen. There are also studies that show that duct tape is in fact not much more effective than when removing warts as no treatment at all.
Does liquid nitrogen kill germs?
Certainly will do. It's very cold! Is it around -80C?
Can liquid nitrogen kill you?

Does sugar kill nitrogen?

Does iodine kill warts?
It's true a number of over the counter wart removals do contain some amount of iodine, however, this ingredient is not responsible for the removal on it's own. And from a medical perspective removing warts with unconventional treatments can often result in more harm than good.
