Here's a more descriptive link about tree man, with info about his HPV/out-of-freaking-control-warts and all that.

"Don't be mistaken by their aesthetically pleasing cone-shaped bags..." Did my ex write this?

While extensive defoliation is the type 'kitchen table issue' on voters minds this election year, family values voters may not identify with a name like Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis. A shame though, as many of his general election opponents have still not progressed though the larva stage.

yeah, it's some kind of wart. there was a TLC show on him and the doctors that were trying to find a cure for his resemblance to a tree. if i remember correctly, he chose to forgo the treatment and continue to work for a carnival.

i hear 'tree man', i expect a picture like this, not like someone covered in barnacles.

Does anyone know why links sometimes don't work? It's Epidermodysplasia verruciformis.

It's actually believed to be caused by a form of HPV wiki

"Don't be mistaken by their aesthetically pleasing cone-shaped bags...these worms will consume the buds of your arborvitae, cedar and juniper plants and cause branch dieback and open, dead areas." For some reason this reminds me of a certain vice presidential nominee...

hungeegirl - that's exactly what i was thinking about the cocoon! it looks like they are pieces of coniferous leaves but not the needle variety.
