Folk in the Northeast believed the following would cure warts.
Rub the wart with snails,
Secretly rub the wart on a cheating husband (he would get your wart),
Lick it every morning,
Rub it with dust from crossroads while saying the words:
“A’m ane, the wart’s twa,
The first ane it comes by
Taks the warts awa.”,
Wash it with water that has collected on a boulder,
Rub with meat, bury said meat, and the wart will “decompose” as the meat does.,
Rub with sack of barley–whoever eats the grains, gets your wart,
