Re: Epidemodysplasia Verruciformis ( Tree Man Disease)
Found this to be both cool and fascinating. This man has hands and feet that look like contorted tree branches. For 20 years, he has lived like this. He has warts all over his body that look like the moss that forms on trees out in the forest. The growths on his body make up over twelve pounds of his weight and he only weighs 100 pounds. After only a few steps he would become tired because of the density of the growths. It is believed that this defect was caused by an HPV virus. There are two types of HPV. The first one can cause cervical cancer and the other can cause warts on the skin. This is what the doctor’s feel he has. The warts started to appear after he received a cut on his skin as a teenager. It has become out of control since then. The skin has infections happening and bugs living in his skin. He has a weak immune system and the virus took over because of it.  |

I've seen this. It's The Tree Man. I wonder if he's a "picker." You know what I mean... Yeah. Pick pick pick.
