Picked The Falling Warts With Nails And Bite Those Nails With Teeth. Will Wart Spread In Mouth?

i have probably 5 or 6 warts on my hands. They normally don't bother me. However, on one of them, the middle is starting to pull away from the rest and looks like it's about to fall off. I tend to bite my nails a lot...bad I know...but without thinking i grabbed a hold of the part that was pulling away and started to pull it away with my teeth. I stopped when I realized what I had grabbed...but now I'm worried it will spread warts to my mouth? What do I do?

Hi. Normally the warts seen on the skin are not seen in mouth. Mouth may be resistant to develop this. So please do not worry. Just wait and watch. Even though they develop, they are easy to be treated. Why do you get the warts treated so that the worry goes away.
