Video:Afflicted Man is “Half Human-Half Tree”

I picked up this video today on my morning rounds of blog surfing. As usual, I searched for “garden related”stories and never expected to find this. The video shows an Indonesian man with a rare and  bizarre skin condition that has covered his body with raised nodule-like warts and has caused him to grow “trunk-like” extremeties. The condition has been identified as “Epidermodysplasia verruciformis 2,”  and is a form of leprosy. My heart goes out to this guy. Anyone with more information about this disease or how it is treated?
