Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) there are over 100 types of warts caused by the papilloma virus, 30 of which are sexually transmitted diseases (STD)’s. The papilloma virus enters the skin through a cut, or scratch after contact with recently shed papilloma virus infected skin cells.
Infected skin cells can be found in warm, moist places such as public pools, showers, locker rooms, sharing towels, shoes, or clothing with a papilloma virus infected person. Wearing thongs in these public places will help protect against papilloma virus infection.
In the home the papilloma virus can be found on the bathroom floors, showers, and carpets and even in the grass just beyond the front door. Cleaning the bathroom shower, and floor with disinfectant cleaner will aid in the fight against the papilloma virus infection. Each family member should have a pair of thongs to wear in the home, and outdoors for protection against the papilloma as well.
The immune system is not fully developed in children, making them more susceptible to the papilloma virus. Children bite their fingernails, pick hangnails, and go barefoot leaving open wounds for the papilloma virus to enter.
Adults with low immune systems such as those who have AIDS, diabetics, cancer, and transplant patients are also highly susceptible to papilloma virus infection also.
Women that are pregnant should call their health care provider if there is a chance that they have been exposed to the papilloma virus. Health care providers will follow them closely to prevent the chances of the papilloma virus warts rupturing and bleeding which would be dangerous to both mother and baby.
Babies born to mothers that are infected with the papilloma virus may have problems breathing, as well as developmental problems. Ask the health care provider about an all-natural topical essential oil treatment for papilloma virus called Warts No More. This treatment can be applied at home to remove warts caused by the papilloma virus, and avoid future outbreaks.
