So strange. I can't believe it's the same person.

Yikes, the difference is incredible! How scary. And the doctors don't even know if it's reversible, I read .. .

That is pretty wild, it even looks like his eyes changed color (from brown to blue or green). Wonder if those pics are real?

yes, the pictures are real..I guess they finally pinpointed it to dioxin poisoning...It could have killed him...

Wow, I can't believe this. Unfortunately his face is probably the least of his problems. Dioxin can cause so much damage...Here is a link on the substance. This poor man. I fear for him and his family.

I am completely fascinated by this. I saw some before-and-after pictures of him a few weeks ago that merely commented on the toll that campaigning had taken on him without mentioning the possibility of poisoning. At the time, I thought that there's no way stress could do all that. Looks like I was right. What's recovery like, I wonder?

(DH walked in and saw me typing this and said "You ARE fascinated with this, aren't you?" I've been talking about it for days. I'm so embarrassed. I need help.)
