OMG. This has got to be one the most bizarre things ever.
Mother nature is strange sometimes.
Thank God that man has found help....finally.
Don't wanna imagine what kind of a life it must have been the last 15 years.

Seen about it before.

Quite simple really, the guy's immune system was shot and he had a viral infection causing a massive proliferation of warts on his skin. The outer surface of warts is a keratinous layer (same stuff which is highly abundant in hair and finger nails). In this cases the growth of the warts was pretty phenomenal. I think that's what it was anyways.

Last time I heard, he had changed his mind and refused treatment because looking like that was earning his living.

Totally amazing. Hope his children didn't inherit the immune dysfunction.

He's not married. Says he hopes to get married and have kids someday. I wish him all the best.

In one of the pics it shows him sitting next to his teenage daughter who is normal looking and have him quoted as saying he fears his children may become infected.

I saw that documentary. I had to look away a few times, it was so gross. The people he rolls with in the freak show are equally messed up.
