     juvenile warts: pink or brown, fleshy, hairless growths, usually on the
      muzzle or elsewhere on the face of young (less than 3-years-old) horses.
      Believed to be caused by a contagious virus, juvenile warts tend to run
      their course and disappear suddenly after being present a few weeks to
      several months. It's believed that the positive response to various home
      remedies is merely coincidence - the warts were going to resolve anyway.
