was a countrywoman from Devon, and among other advice from her country lore, told me that the milky sap from a common garden weed, known as spurge, would get rid of small skin tags and warts. I followed her advice and used it for years. Only on small problems as it is quite toxic, and probably not a good thing to use on anything but a tiny problem.
Anyway, I now discover that it is being investigated for possible treatment of non melanoma skin cancers.
Granny knows best.
