Duct Tape Use It On Everything


My daughters love duct tape, especially, the brightly colored duct tape. One day Ally used Duct tape to make a wallet using a discarded Starbucks card and two colors of duct tape. I was thoroughly impressed with her ability to craft. Duct tape has so many uses. Most recently I was made aware of yet one more use on a trip to my daughter’s pediatrician.

Warts can be stubborn. One of our daughters got a wart on the bottom of her foot and we used the over the counter medicines to attempt to cure it. No such luck. We had it burnt off and it came back. We tried more medication, but again, the wart persisted. So, we turned to duct tape as recommended by our pediatrician, Dr. Mary. According to our doctor, a little mediplast (a Band-Aid with 40% salicylic acid), covered by duct tape is the best medicine for a wart. We have been using this method for several weeks now and slowly the wart is diminishing. So, the next time you are contemplating the many uses of duct tape, include wart killer on your list.
