Next time you're thinking about how difficult your life is...


Spare a thought for this guy.




He's known as Dede, and has an extreme form of human papilloma virus, which is essentially a wart virus.

However the growths have literally taken over his hands and feet, taking on the appearance of tree roots.

He's lost his wife, his job and any chance of making an income, however doctors from the US think they may be able to find a treatment and are working on it now.


Your day's not looking quite so bad now, is it?

Especially after his Government claimed the US doctors shouldn't have taken the samples out of the countries because third world countries should own their own viruses so they can use them to get cures. Because I'm sure that's exactly what all the local doctors were doing while the dude was being taken over by the growths. Finding cures. Hmmm.

You're right. Next time I get a little pimple I'll remember this...
