As a kid, we just used to bite them off continually till they were no longer there

No lie. Back in high school my girlfriend's mom took me to see an old man in the mountains. I had a plague of warts covering both hands...very odd. He rubbed my hands gently, half closed his eyes and mumbled some sort of singing incantation the words of which I could not understand. The next morning I woke up and the warts were gone! I swear this happened.

Yes i have tried the vaseline on warts.I found this out by accident,had 2 warts on my fingers.I use vaseline on my hands cause of the harsh soaps in the hospital.Next thing i noticed is the warts were getting smaller and finally gone.
