How Contagious are Warts?

The summer brings with it many wonderful things. The smell of a freshly mowed lawn, family barbecues, vacations etc.  Unfortunately it can also bring pesky little critters called warts.  Warts are a virus, and are fairly contagious.

They most commonly affect the foot, and are most easily transmitted on a wet surface.  Keeping sandals on at the pool or gym will go a long way in preventing your summer from being interrupted.  

Children seem to be more susceptible then adults. On a positive note, if you are unfortunate enough to run into these little guys we now have specialized lasers to stop them in their tracks.
