Beetle juice. Up until yesterday I just thought that was a title of a 1980s movie, I stand corrected. Beetle juice is also a common solution for removing plantar warts from the bottom of a persons foot. To much information? If feet gross you out, well then you better stop reading, but I promise you I wont show you any pictures of my foot!
Yesterday, I went to an appointment to get some stubborn plantar warts removed from the bottom of my foot. The podiatrist gave me a lengthy explanation of all of the different things he could do to remove them: burn, freeze, cut, beetle juice. Beetle Juice? Tell me more! It's a brown solution that goes directly onto the wart then covered with a band-aid. The solution causes a centralized allergic reaction over top of the area within an 2-3 hours. So I took my chances and trusted his opinion of trying the beetle juice first.
Last night, I told the fiance I didn't think it worked. Nothing felt different or funny on the bottom of my foot. So off to bed I went. This morning when I woke up, it was a different story! Laying in bed, I felt just fine, so I contemplated going to work-out, "stupid beetle juice" I told myself. So I stood up. "Holy s***!" Those were the exact two words that came out of my mouth when I stood up. I sat back down, grabbed my foot, and sure enough two of the four spots had big blisters on them! I thought Wednesday was supposed to be a happy hump day?! These
I hobbled into the bathroom and popped and put ointment on the spots just as I was instructed. Beetle juice did work! Huh!
An hour later, I had a craving for bacon. I wanted a BLT and I wanted it now! Off to Hy-Vee I went, after popping and ointment-ing up again. Boy it was sore after my short walk to the car. I thought about not going, but bacon was on my brain. I got into Hy-vee, then walked all the way to the back to the bacon cooler. Ouch. Ouch. Even in pain, I couldn't resit a deal. Buy this bacon, get eggs for free! For free?! Well, screw the pain, now I need eggs! Over to the eggs I go and I head to check out.
Shoot, I need lettuce...and tomatoes! My foot is killing me now, but I NEED tomatoes and lettuce for my BLT! I get them and I go.
When I get home, my foot is killing me, and sure enough, two large and in charge blisters had reformed on my feet. Ooooouuuch! I decided to rest after I got home, so BLTs are now for supper. I bet they are going to be the best thing I've ever tasted, or at least they better be after the pain I put myself through!!
Oh my, thanks for following my circle of a story. But really, who knew beetle juice, blisters, and bacon could ever be correlated?! Leave it to me! =)
