CAN YOU GET WARTS FROM CHESS????

I run a chess group at my library. A man with giant warts all over his arms expressed an interest in coming to the chess group tomorrow. Does anybody know if it's possible to catch warts from playing chess with someone with warts???? 

You should ask a doctor and not a web forum.

wow.....what a strange topic.  Warts are harmless.

Still real gross though....

oooooooooo daz..

You can get a venereal disease from a bishop.

Warts are being linked to the use of CAPS LOCK, not chess.

Yes most definitely paying chess can cause warts.  They are known as chess warts,   They are more  common in people just learning to play chess.  The activity taxes the brain and its response is to grow warts.
