Prevention of warts

Since warts are caused by viruses, only limited precautionary measures can be taken. Almost all types of warts are caused by an infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which are so resistant to the environment that they are hardly combated with conventional disinfectants. Nevertheless, in places with a high risk of infection such as Swimming pools, saunas or hotel rooms some hygiene rules help to minimize the risk.

It is advisable to wear slippers and use your own towels, which are then washed at least 60 degrees. Dry the interstices of fingers and toes after each bath or shower well. Take care of your health, because a weak immune defense favors warts.

Important is a balanced diet and regular exercise in the fresh air. Further proven measures that strengthen the immune system are, for example, a customized Bach flower therapy or the hydrotherapy of Pastor Kneipp.
