Answers:
verrucas are actually warts that have been pressed in to your feet by the weight f your body you can get them from touching anywhere where some one has been with a verruca its a horrible virus hun Www@Answer-Health@Com

Like other warts, verrucas are caused by strains of papillomavirus!. There is lots of papillomavirus around, and many people carry it on the surface of their skin!. It does not cause any harm unless it penetrates into the skin, where it can take hold and cause a wart!. This is most likely to happen if the surface of your skin is already damaged, with tiny cracks!.

Most people believe that verrucas are caught in the changing rooms of swimming pools and the pool surrounds, but only one scientific study has shown that people who use swimming pools regularly are more likely to get verrucas!. Other studies have shown no link!.

There is probably plenty of papillomavirus around swimming pools, particularly in the shower area!. However, you are very unlikely to get a verruca if your skin is undamaged!. If you want to minimize the risk, wear flip-flops in the shower area!.

It's a virus picked up from other people who have the virus!. Swimming pools are a popular source since so many people walk round with bare feet!. As per the other answer, wearing other people's shoes/socks is another!. I think some people are more susceptible to them than others!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

a verruca is a wart and as such you will have had to have been in touch with something to infect you!.!.!.!.your guess will be better than mine!. Best of luck!.
