yeah, I think duct tape would not be good for anything but plantar warts - 
there must be something in the glue that zaps the virus. But to put duct 
tape on raw toes - eeek - that would be a killer. I agree - Second Skin is 
better for anything else. If any of you attend the American Pilgrims on the 
Camino Gatherings, held in March in the USA every year, there is always a 
first rate session on Camino first aid, with excellent advice from our 
wilderness medicine expert and hospitalero trainer Daniel DeKay. He tells 
you all you need to know about blisters and feet in general.
