    Now, thanks to one study, we can officiallyadd to the already long list of things to do with duct tape:

    curing warts. That's right, duct tape might be used to curewarts.
    治療疣。是的,膠帶可用于治療疣。
    The study tested duct tape against cryotherapy, which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze warts.
    該項(xiàng)研究對(duì)膠帶治療疣和通過液態(tài)氮冷凍治療疣進(jìn)行了對(duì)照測(cè)試。
    Of a test group of fifty-one wart patients, roughly half received cryotherapy, the other half duct tape.
    測(cè)試組有五十一名病人,大約一半的病人接受了冷凍療法,另一半病人接受管狀膠帶治療。
    The duct tape patients wore pieces of tape over their warts for six days and then removedit for twelve hours.

    After soaking the wart in water and gently scrubbing it with pumice stone, the procedure wasrepeated for up to two months, or until the wart disappeared.
