That curved one on his forefinger looks just like the “horn” Dr. Pimple Popper removed the other night from the back of a woman’s head but she didn’t call it this or seemed concerned.

Have y’all seen the Dr. Pimple Popper show? It’s interesting. Gross but interesting.

So, the Muzzie doctors recommended amputation, but the Jews saved the man's hands.

I'm sure that'll get lots of publicity in Gaza.

World's 4th a Tree Man.jpg

Abul Bajandar from Bangladesh, was diagnosed with EV in 2016

In January 2016, a 25-year-old patient named Abul Bajandar from Khulna, Bangladesh was admitted in Dhaka Medical College and Hospital and was diagnosed with this condition. Doctors at the hospital decided to form a medical board for the treatment of the patient. Over the following year, Bajandar underwent at least 25 surgeries for the removal of the warts—weighing in excess of 5 kg (11 lb)—from his hands, feet, and legs. Bajandar’s condition returned after he interrupted treatments in May 2018. His doctors requested that he return for treatment many times. He finally returned for treatment in late 2018, but his conditioned had significantly worsened and spread to his feet. He will reportedly need five to six operations to get the condition back under control. In June 2019 he has requested to get his arms amputated as the pain is unbearable.

Nope:

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), also known as treeman syndrome, is an extremely rare autosomal recessive hereditary skin disorder associated with a high risk of skin cancer. It is characterized by abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses (HPVs) of the skin. The resulting uncontrolled HPV infections result in the growth of scaly macules and papules resembling tree bark, particularly on the hands and feet. It is typically associated with HPV types 5 and 8, which are found in about 80% of the normal population as asymptomatic infections, although other types may also contribute.

The condition usually has an onset of between the ages of one and 20 but it can occasionally be present in middle age. The condition is also known as Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, named after the physicians who first documented it, Felix Lewandowsky and Wilhelm Lutz.

Humm. Looks like a really bad case of nail fungus, like ram’s horn growing out of his hands. Has my absolute sympathy.

Gaza. You go to Gaza to catch a disease.

Somewhere this may involve 4 footed animals since your access to marrigable women is limited by Islamic law. You then pass that disease to your and your cousin’s children.

The so-called victims that demand pity parties for their perceived injustices, should be ashamed of themselves.

Your attitude towards that man is reprehensible enough to make me wish something like that condition on you.

That and marrying your father’s sisters kid.

Genetics
The cause of the condition is an inactivating PH mutation in either the EVER1 or EVER2 genes, which are located adjacent to one another on chromosome 17.[1] These genes play a role in regulating the distribution of zinc in the cell nuclei. Zinc is a necessary cofactor for many viral proteins, and the activity of EVER1/EVER2 complex appears to restrict the access of viral proteins to cellular zinc stores, limiting their growth

Wow, did you misunderstand my comment. Better read it again. I was saying that this poor man has real issues to deal with, unlike the snowflakes that perceive they have been victimized.

“That and marrying your father’s sisters kid.”

Exactly... ignoring the standard sex with camel stuff...in some Islamic societies restrictions on intersex contact make it very possible for a young man the only women you ever really came in contact with were your female cousins. You ended up marrying within this pool and your and your cousin’s child pass on recessive traits that cause various genetic problems.

I read it correctly the first time, and it wasn’t clear that it meant what you intended.

I can see what you were saying now that you explain it, but it seemed like you were saying that about the man who had the problem.
