（单词翻译）

After soaking the wart1 in water and gently scrubbing it with pumice stone, the procedure was repeated for up to two months, or until the wart disappeared. The cryotherapy patients received a maximum of six treatments over the same time period. By the end, 85% of duct tape patients saw their warts2 vanish completely, while only 65% of cryotherapy recipients3 had similar results. As for precisely4 what makes duct tape so effective, researchers are still uncertain. Scientists speculate that by mildly irritating the wart, the tape activates5 the immune system which suppresses the viral microbes that cause warts. Robbed of its microbes, the wart gradually vanishes. Although duct tape has gotten all the publicity6, it may be the case that other kinds of tape would do just as well. In any case, the next time you get a wart, talk to your medical professional about duct tape.
