Harold was exposed to the FEV, but he didn't fall into any of the Vats. Also, it was Richard Grey (Moreau originally), not Masters.

He's not literally turning into a tree, he got an infection when he was younger that caused moles to pop up around his body, normally a persons defenses would've stopped them from growing, but he didn't have that defense. So he's just covered in moles.

If you really want to nit-pick, it's unknown whether Harold was directly exposed through being 'dipped' or if it was a more superficial exposure. Probably something inbetween.

Lol, I think that's implied :P But still, it's menacing >_< And look at the hands! They're the wierdest looking 'moles' I've ever seen >_<

Oh for christ's sake how stupid are you people? It's not a mysterious tree disease, those not branches, and they aren't moles. They're just warts, caused by a sever case of Human Papilloma Virus. If any of you even bothered to spend a few minutes reasearching this guy you would know that.

As for Harold and his condition, Harold is a mutant, not a ghoul, as his condition wasn't caused exposure to radiation but an unique reaction to FEV. Secondly, he doesn't have HPV and he is nothing like the 'tree man'. Some time after his exposer to FEV he had a seed land in his head and germinate. Over time and as it grew simply got to heavy for him to carry around and he was immobilized. This process was likely slow, and he didn't just get stuck there over night, but as it grew bigger and bigger it was inevitable one day he could no longer carry the burden. That day came and went.

Oh...and the tree's real name is bob, not Herbert. It's a running gag that he calls it Herbert.

Very interesting. The question is if this can be controlled and used to fortify human skin and make it tougher. I could use this in some of my designs.....hmmmm

I watched this show and actually it's about more then just that guy. There were different people with different root systems. It wasn't actually tree, wood. It was a root system of some rotten skin or something. It's a very rare disease and the people mentioned in the show might be the only one with it it. But as I said, they all have different skin diseases but as you say, it reminds us of Harold
