Half Man/Half Tree

Whenever I have the audacity to complain about my sagging skin or new horror bump that has popped up on my face I have to remember to Thank God for the body I do have.

Late one night I was watching TLC and a story came on about a man that has root like structure growing from his skin. He lives in a village in Indonesia. This story totally freaked me out.


They protrude from his hands and feet. I know this may be unsettling but I couldn't help but to inform ya'll of this condition. I watched this and couldn't decide if I wanted to cringe or cry.


There is an American doctor that is trying to help this man.


Click here if you want to read more about this story. I think it is also going to air on the 26th on TLC. Not sure if it is the same one or a follow up.

Omg, I used to get warts and thought it was the end of the world.

I wonder what he would do if a bird tried to build a nest in his foot?
