Wart exposure: The wart virus is usually spread from skin-to-skin contact, and it gets seeded into the skin. Occasionally it can be caught from objects, such as plantar warts from wet floors, or exercise equipment, in the gym. They also can be spread by sexual exposure. Since they can spread to other parts of the body, they should be treated, either by OTC medication, or procedures by a doctor.
