Half Man Half Tree

Tree man 'who grew roots' may be cured - Telegraph

Quote:

An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor - and Vitamin A.

Quote:

The welts spread across his body unchecked and soon he was left unable to carry out everyday household tasks.
Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children - now in their late teens - in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure for his condition.
To make ends meet he even joined a local "freak show", parading in front of a paying audience alongside victims of other peculiar diseases

I feel poor to the man, seriously, I never thought there is such extreme mutation which causes your skin to be hardened like a tree. This disease will turn the victim into some half-man half-tree being, don't click the news if you are not prepared.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

some minor update: the man just recently through surgeon, the welts was removed after some tremendous hours, involving 4 doctors, they weight around... 5 Kg.

If you are interested about this disease, you might want to google "giant cutaneous horn". Apparently the disease itself is pretty rare occured, but the victim, Dede himself has rare genes (or whatever are these, helix chain? genomes?) that make the growth became too tremendous.

I have researched this disaese a little, but I think this man's case is just too exceptional (most of the victim grew tree from their body, but not that massive).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

lol, not, they are real doctors.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
