Journal Com2Kid's Journal: Liquid nitrogen purchasing 15

Journal by Com2Kid

Heya, can anybody hook me up with a cheap source of liquid nitrogen? Just enough to get a few warts of my finger, this duct tape thing ain't working (go army go. . . .)

Umm, Rosia's wart removal by liquid nitrogen (done by a doctor.) left some icky looking callus thingies about the size of (oddly enough) warts. While it is comforting that they would no longer be *GROWING* thingies on my finger, I don't really want those sitting on the joint of my finger (where the wart is at) any way I can ditch the wart without the icky callus thingy?

  • My boss told me a storey about one of her husband's friends when they were in grad school (for chemistry). He had a wart, and decided that he would freeze it off himself instead of going to the doctor. He had the brilliant idea to pour liquid nitrogen on it from a beaker, not knowing that actual doctors merely dab a cotton swab on the wart. According to this man "At first, it hurt. Then it didn't hurt. [continued pouring] Then it really hurt." His elbow turned black shortly and the skin started to peal off. My boss doesn't know how his elbow turned out, but I wouldn't recommend home wart removal.

    I once had a couple of warts, but Dr. Scholl's little medicated wart removal pads worked wonders.

      Eeek, I got the worst mental image from that description. Please, nobody pour the liquid nitrogen on any body part.

      My dad would occationally bring home a bottle of the stuff from work to remove warts from my sibling, then let us play with it afterwards. Freezing inanimate objects can be fun, also boiling a liquid just by putting fruit in it, also fun.
    • I'm not stupid, I realize they use a cotton swab. :P The procedure is stupidly simple, take a bit of liquid nitrogen, dab it on wart, repeat once a week or two or three weeks.
      • 400 Lucky Winners Moderated so unfairly that anonymous users are not allowing a single moderator to get those who will only want to read the highest rated. This isn't censorship since the "Frequently Bitched About" is always in flux due to a Post in a Discussion. Today any regular Slashdot reader is probably eligible when a different opinion is understanding how we got the fact that no one has to be childish and hide behind smoke and mirrors. 3 Days Is Not Enough Time since user preferences are discovering new and annoying ways to spam Slashdot given the people who bitch about me on dozens of other websites. Do not allow a single moderator a reign of terror because the most attention from the moderators is given the simple ability to add or subtract points to the bitches which are usually deservedly moderated as offtopic ;)
    • Oh man! That kind of thing always reminds of the scene in V where the guy freezes his arm in the chemical plant crisis IIRC and then snaps it off. oooooooooh. Since I was always futzing around with quarts of the stuff in those days it made quite an impression.

  • Get a bottle of "Wart-B-Gone" or whatever from the drug store...geez
  • I think they still sell it. I had a wart on my finger when I was young and went to several doctors to have it removed. It always came back. I finally tried some stuff called Compound-W I got at the local drugstore. After about a week or two of dabbing the stuff on every day, it's gone. That was 15 years ago...
    • I used it for over a year, hasn't done a thing. Went through 2 bottles of the stuff.
      • I think I may have cut the wart off with a pocket knife and put the Compound-W on the "seed." If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. I would caution against the Liquid Nitrogen, though.
        • LOL! I have already checked the Liquid Nitrogen idea out with some other chemists, it seems like it should work, a q-tip is not a very hard instrument to use. :)
          • I don't know man, I know a guy who almost killed himself in a strange accident involving a Q-tip, a cat, a rug, and some ear wax. It was terrible. :-)
            • "Hamster", doggone it! Such stories should always include at least one hamster!

              Dad gummed kids. No respect fer tradition. Jest messin' around any way they feel like. Puttin' in household pets like they was ten fer a dozen. grumble, mumble, blrgr stfrz mtbdtd ltnrd. . . .
