Tree Man


I came across this article today and I haven't stopped thinking about it allllll day.
So he cut kis knee when he was 15 and contracted the HPV virus (herpes, warts, etc.) He also has an immune difficiency disorder so his body couldn't fight off the virus and it has grown OUT OF CONTROL!
It grosses me out but then I feel so bad for the poor guy. I would cut my limbs off for sure. Anyway- this is just a little reminder that I am pretty lucky to live in such a clean place and have medicine readily available to me! egads!!! Doctors in Maryland have brought him here and are treating him. SO far they have removed over 5 lbs of warts. (i think i just threw up in my mouth!)
