If you read the article, it says that the warts are caused by the Human Papalova (spelling?) Virus (HPV). My brother suffers with HPV with warts in his throat. The reason why we see so many of these strange diseases/conditions is because of lack of adequate health care and basic treatments, not anything else. It is only by the grace of God that the majority of us on this website have access to medical care (expensive or not) and that our doctors have access to new and updated education.
Personally, I feel very proud that this man has continued to raise his children despite his affliction, even at the expense of his own pride. Perhaps we can learn that from him - looks should never be as important as your actions in this world, and caring for family is of the utmost importance.
I hope that the American doctor who diagnosed him will be able to remove the warts and give him treatment for the disease to make him not have a relapse.
