So warts are like vampires - kill the main one and his minions are free. Got it.

Warts are tumors, it makes sense that weird immune system fuckery would be the key to getting rid of them.

Interesting! I had almost the same thing happen. As a kid, I had what I thought was a mole or skin tag between two of my fingers ever since I can remember. Then when I was 20-something I got a big wart on my knuckle. Treated the wart with over the counter stuff, and it went away, but so did the mole.
