So what causes warts?

The main cause of warts is HPV, short for Human Papaloma Virus. 95 percent of human population caries the virus inside their body. It sleeps in our body and it just waits for an oportunity to explode. The mechanism of the virus is not well known but professionals says that the lack of our immune system is perfect for the virus to get activated.

Are warts contagious ?

HPV is a highly contagious pathogen and it can survive for months outshide human body. But the virus it self can not get in our system through the skin. It can be caught only by direct contact through cuts and other skin breaks. Walking across the pool surface barefoot is the way to go for the virus, because you’re never sure that you don’t have the smallest cuts on your feet. Also, sharing towels with an infected person may be the reason you got infected.
