The milky sap of J. curcas is used in Mesoamerica for the treatment of different dermatomucosal diseases. With a defined protocol, 147 warts lesions from 30 patients were studied. The sap was applied daily for 15 days and compared with one application of liquid nitrogen and daily applications of a placebo. Experimentally treated lesions behave statistically as those treated with liquid nitrogen but differently from placebo.
