A member asked:
If you held hands with someone who had warts on their hands, but washed your hands after what is the risk of contracting them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By washing your hands after touching someone with active warts you have all eliminated a contraction. Warts can be spread from open wounds, and on surfaces if sharing them. The HPV wart is very common to spread but not everyone contracts it.
