This man’s medical condition is not just a freak of nature, but may be created by a genetically inherited immune defect and a type of human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Though he made his living by playing in carnivals because of his condition which made his hands looked like contorted, yellow-brown branches extending 3 feet, he often became exhausted after taking a few steps because of the dense warts on his feet.

Anthony Gaspari, chief of dermatology at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, said: “The HPV-2 virus that causes common warts is the same exact wart virus that he’s infected with, except it was growing out of control.”
