Not Just for Toads: The Contagious Factor for Warts
You don't have to worry about getting warts from kissing toads (not that anyone really does that), but you can definitely catch warts from touching another person.
Common warts are caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus causes rapid growth of cells on the outer layers of the skin that look like little bumps.

The mouthful of a virus has spread across Africa, India, the French Island of Reunion, and there have also been cases found in Italy and France since 2005. Health officials are worried that this virus will soon infect those living in Europe and the US.
