The 'Tree Man of Java’ is hoping to get married after doctors performed four major operations to hack away the bark-like tissue sprouting from his hands and feet.

For 20 years Dede Koswara lived covered in warts with huge tree-like growths encasing his limbs.

Today Dede, whose plight was highlighted on the Telegraph website, can once more use his hands and walk without pain.

He can see the outline of his toes for the first time in over a decade after medics cut more than 4lbs of warty horns from his legs and feet.

Dudes. You think he chose to be like that?

It's pretty damn disrespectful to say someone's disgusting just because he's different. It could as well have been you.

We're not saying he did. Ofcourse we feel sorry for him, but that does not make the disease an any less disgusting sight.

I'm not applying that HE is disgusting, he might be a very nice guy. I just think he looks disgusting, sorry to be bias. Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder.

Side Note: I was born where Rod Serling was raised :p

now THAT's really close-minded like the other ones already said: "We're not saying he did. Ofcourse we feel sorry for him, but that does not make the disease an any less disgusting sight. "

A few months ago, I read about that man in a national newspaper.
Anyone wants me to scan the picture and upload another disgusting sight? /evil

i didn't find it disgusting at all myself, and (this is pretty bad coming from me) i think it's really quite disrespectful to call the disease or this man disgusting. i would -rep both of you if i didn't stick to my -rep policy of mine.

Dude, we're not calling the man disgusting, its his disease. You can disagree, -rep, or do whatever you want, but that disease just isent a awfully pleasant sight.

In all honesty, to me, he looks much better. Not disgusting, just... kinda cool really. Might be because I'm 14 though (Turned it just today :D)

He looks much better then he did before, I hope he gets better. He's taking the whole think quite calmly though, pretty impressive :D

Happy B-day aguter =D


And it does look a bit disturbing, but of course, he didn't choose to be like that, and it doesn't really affect us. Unless you're marrying him or something >_<.

Good luck to him, and his future wife.

In case you are referring to my previous comment, the "lmao" was directed at the fact that I posted a link to what I thought was a different article, but it was actually a link to the same one that TH originally posted.
