Verruca!! Gone Bananas

Options
i know i sound barking but to get rid of a verruca just rub the pith side of some banana skin on the verruca for a few mins every night and hew presto your verruca will go
i have tried this with both my son and daughter and it only took 3-4 days i am actually quite shocked that it did work so please give me feed back just in case it was a flook [and dont wash it of leave it to dry yes your skin will go brown]

    Wow, sounds great. I bought that ridiculously expensive stuff when youngest had one - took ages to get rid of.

    Don't want to cast aspersions but this is ringing alarm bells for me.

    I know I heard very convincing reasons for not using banana skins on verrucas but can't remember the whys and wherefores

    Can anybody shed any light????

    EDIT: Googled it and apparantly using banana skins can lead to parasitic infections.
