Tree man 'who grew roots' may be cured

[azzerz]

An Indonesian fisherman who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by an American doctor - and Vitamin A.

Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty "roots" began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in a teenage accident.

Good to see they got to the root of the problem. Hopefully this might even start a new branch of dermatology.
