A new study suggests that children were more likely to get infected with warts-causing virus at home or school.

The researchers found that around 29 percent of the children developed new warts during the year and those who already had warts during the initial examination were more likely to develop warts compared to those who had no warts at the start of the study. Having classmates or family members with warts also increased the risk that a child would contract the virus.
“Having a family member with warts was a more important risk factor than school-class prevalence, which was more important than any public factor”, the researchers wrote in their report, which has been published in the journal Pediatrics.
