This Little Piggy

    I had a 6 year old patient with a verruca on her 3rd toe, no other toes had any sign of the dreaded viral infection.

    It occurred to me that it was on the very little piggy that had roast beef!

    The piggies that either went to market, stayed home, had no roast beef or that went home were unaffected.

    I was wondering if there have been any studies on the effect of having roast beef on the formation of verruca? Or for that matter, if perhaps a nice home environment or market shopping were disadvantageous to verruae formation?

    I think someone needs to research this.

    What if the piggy was vegetarian??

    Don't you forget about the vegetarian piggies that go to market and still get warts.

    It is obvious that roast beef is closely related to the formation of verrucae however, if eaten with yorkshire pudding , the incidence can be largely reduced.
    The vegetarians that develop warts are obviously sneaking roast beef into their diet when no one is looking.

    Bearing in mind all the 'alternative ' cures for warts;- banana skin , garlic etc........
    It's worth considering a new cure..... HORSERADISH!
