I would love that, the constant feeling of having wood.
That has to be fake.
lol every time there is something unpleasant, there are people that say it is fake. Probably to make themselves feel better, but it's real.

Dunno, looks fake to me... What's the source of this video anyway?
I'm also finding it hard to accept that the soles of his feet look perfectly normal.
Dude it's been all over the internet for a while now. Just search 'Tree Man Disease' on google. I'd provide a bunch of links but I'm busy playing Starcraft and posting in two different forums right now so I can't.
Some things you're safer never knowing... I'm one of them. The otherside of dark is just too much fun.

i feel so sorry for that man. i can't imagine having arms like that. i hope they find some sort of cure for him. having a condition like that must be awful.
and how would a freaking tree grow unnoticed by the host?

whoops, nevermind. I thought it was an idiot who's trying to get famous for having tree-arms. I feel sorry for him.
What the guy has is the human Papilloma virus (HPV) and a fucked immune system.
HPV cause warts to form and grow on a persons body. They may or may not be isolated to the genital area depending on the type of HPV. Obviously in this mans case they are not. Under normal conditions a persons immune system is capable of limiting the growth of the warts. Since his immune system is depressed this isn't the case, and the warts grow constantly and with out bound into what are know as cutaneous horns.
There is some hope for the guy, as there are treatments which can limmit the growth of the warts, and surgeries could remove the current growths.
If you have a -10% chance of succeeding, not only will you fail every time you make an attempt, you will also fail 1 in 10 times that you don't even try.
Makes you realize that maybe you don't have it that bad after all
