The Most Bizarre Disorder Ever Is Turning This Man Into A TREE

Yes, I know. This has next to nothing to do with politics or culture, but I’m compelled to share it with you, because I didn’t even know this kind of thing existed.

A Bangladeshi man, Abul Bajandar, 25, suffers from an insanely rare skin disorder called Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis.

They call him the “tree-man.”

Bajandar’s currently seeking treatment at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), but he isn’t the medical world’s first interaction with a “tree-man.”

According to local reports, the original tree-man Dede Koswara, of Indonesia, died today. Tribunnnews.com reported that it wasn’t the disease to cause his death.

 

In 2008 the Discovery Channel told the story Mr Koswara. In the programme, he returned home from hospital after having six kilo warts surgically removed from his body.

 

An American doctor had previously said the warts were the result of severe Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV) infection and doctors thought his type was the worst in the world.

 

The father-of-two first noticed the warts on his body after cutting his knee as a teenager.

 

He was later sacked from his job and shunned by neighbours when the branch-like growths covered much of his body and stopped him from working.

I sincerely hope the experts can help him. This disorder is just awful. I can’t imagine what he’s been going through.
