Human tree discovered (not for the faint hearted)

[G.T]

Yes, really:



How utterly bizarre.

 

[daan]

Who wood believe it?

What branch of medicine would be able to solve that? Most doctors would be barking up the wrong tree.

I'll leaf this thread now....

 

[RICHARDO]

Good lord...

 

[Jondot]

I just assumed it'd be a picture of John Nettles attempting to act. Oh well.

 

[exigeracer]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's an unseen for of leprosy.

 

[RICHARDO]

The T(ree) Virus

I've seen this before, but another person.
I think it was on Ripley's Believe it or not, but i'm not sure.
It's a rare skin disease.

edit: wasn't ripley's, it was a link on a site i visit:

Warning: links contain pictures that could be found shocking. Please finish eating if you have a weak stomach.

and a month after, the condition has improved (partly by using a dremel saw )

And once again, daan completely steals the thread with the power of puns and word play.

Good job good sir.

 

[DustDriver]

(well, not exactly, but i wanted to say that)

also updated my previous post with links to a blog.

 

[Michael88]

Very good. I havent puked a whole week long and then this! This made my day.....

Hope someone helps this poor man so that he can return to normal life.

BLEH!

 

[TopHat]

Can we get a grossitude warning on this thread?

 

[superberkut]

Grossitude?

That is very tragic. I'll never be able to get tree'd again without crying...

 

[Solid Lifters]

See what happens to tree huggers who don't use protection!

 

[CDailey]

 

[Omnis]

Keratin ftw.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

It isn't that gross to me. It's very sad though.

 

[YSSMAN]

Who said you could post a TF story in here?

 

[<_Spike_>]

Sad, slightly disturbing and generally odd...hope they find the root of his problem.

I-thank you

*get's his coat*

Gets you feeling genuinely sorry for the poor fellow them BAM! &#8230;in with the one-two punch.

Pretty sad though, it would be awful to have to live like that.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Can we get a grossitude warning on this thread?

Like the SPOLIER tags? Its not THAT gross but its just plain odd.

 

[GT Pro]

I certainly feel sorry for both of them. It's one of the most weird diseases I've ever seen.

 

[crimson_menace]

It looks like an extreme form of psoriasis. That sucks, best of luck for that dude.

EDIT: a form of epidermolysis. Look it up....it's friggen nasty.

 

[Flerbizky]

Yep... That has to suck bigtime..

Growth like that, in that amount, and if the story holds any water, with that speed, has to consume an insane amount of energy...

Reading the article, you have got to say that his ex-wife is being ever-so-slightly inconsiderate to the kids there... Fair enough, it might be easy to see why she wanted to leave the guy, but to leave him to bring up the kids too is pretty harsh, especially when he can't even use his hands or (obviously) get a job...

 

[kikie]

At least he has the luck (if you can call it luck) that once these wrats are removed, he's normal.

If you remember "the elephant man", John Merrick, wasn't that "lucky".

This is awful, if you have to life like that.

I was under the impression that the laydeez liked a bit of wood.

 

[Gen.]

Imagine punching someone with those things.

 

[Duke]

OK, folks, fun is fun, but lets please try to keep this a little respectful. Thanks.

These people are growing rhino horns from their skin. Like a rhino. They should do something about that.

I wonder if they're growing these for the same reason rhinos grow horns. Is it the same material?
