    Human papillomavirus HPV is responsible for warts on feet.

    So genital warts, mostly HSV (Herpes). Not nice but not particularly harmful most of the time. Cold sores and genital warts. Mouth, genitals. Won’t look nice but you won’t die.

    HPV - cancer.

    Further investigation on the evidence may be required but social acceptability chart above may be justified.

    If you have a foot fetish get vaccinated against HPV everyone.

    Also not googling this. Please take this comment with the respect and authority it deserves. (None)

      The HPV strains that cause warts are not the same ones that cause cancer, AFAIK

      There are like dozens of different strains

      In addition, HPV vaccines do not prevent warts, they only protect against the cancer-causing strains
