Looks like some kind of gnarly foot fungus.

From a U.K. website:

"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."

HPV!!! Well over half of the sexually active population from ages 45 to 18 have that. Most people do and dont know it.... They would know it if they started to grow bark on their skin.

So was it just him? Or are other people at risk? I wonder if its contagious!!
