  • Virus thrive in damp areas like showers and swimming pool areas.
  • After catching virus infection, it can take months before you see wart, as the virus grows very slowly.
  • You can reinfect yourself by touching the wart and touching another part of body.
  • You can infect others by sharing razors, towels and other personal items.
