  • inactive, on 11/25/2007, -11/+492For the third time this month: this is called cutaneous horns and has absolutely nothing to do with trees. Those are warts but his body can't fight them at all, so they grow exponentially.

  • sparkmonkeyz, on 11/25/2007, -7/+74They should have just used him in LOTR, and screw that cg crap.
  • LethaLAziE, on 11/25/2007, -0/+66"After testing samples of the lesions and Dede's blood, Dr Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland concluded that his affliction is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop on sufferers. Dede's problem is that he has a rare genetic fault that impedes his immune system, meaning his body is unable to contain the warts. The virus was therefore able to "hijack the cellular machinery of his skin cells", ordering them to produce massive amounts of the substance that caused the tree-like growths known as "cutaneous horns" on his hands and feet."
