[at-l] weird wart poll

[jetriple@rockwellcollins.com (jetriple@rockwellcollins.com)]

I can attest to the dig-it-out-yourself approach.  I'm a picker... scabs,
calluses peeling paint, labels, so it was only natural that I would pick at
the two warts I had where my left index finger joins my hand.  I was in 4th
grade, and used an exacto knife.  It was rather hard to stop the bleeding,
and I didn't want Mom to find out, but it healed and never came back.  The
scar is even gone now.

ya but I don't want a big open wound when I'm hiking
either. maybe I should just dig it out when I get
home?
I've also tried freezing this little bastard with
liquid nitrogen a couple of times. but now that I'm
out of the lab life, I've lost my hook-up...
