There has been a lot of talk recently regarding the positive attributes of Apple Cider Vinegar for health, for longevity, cancer, heart disease. You name it people think Apple Cider Vinegar can treat it. Now recently I have heard that people are using Apple Cider Vinegar to treat Plantar Warts. Needless to say I am bewildered by this.
See Plantar Warts are a virus, specifically the HPV virus. Now in order to treat Plantar Warts successfully you have to apply medications powerful enough to kill a virus. The thing about Apple Cider Vinegar is you can drink it. No other treatment for warts can you actually drink. That is because all the other treatments for warts such as Salycylic Acid, or Cantharone will kill you if you drink them. The reason is warts are a virus and you need a caustic agent to kill the virus. Apple Cider Vinegar is not a caustic agent, so no, you should not use Apple Cider Vinegar to treat warts.
