Peter was alarmed when he noticed strange holes in his thumb, unsure of the cause or danger. He visited a doctor, who quickly called the police after testing him. As the doctor fled the room, Peter panicked, realizing the severity of the situation. When Peter tried to break open the door, he found the doctor had locked him in.
Peter, a 40-year-old bachelor, had recently gone on a hike and a date. The holes in his thumb had started after these events, and he wondered if he had touched something harmful, like a mushroom or moss. After undergoing several tests, the doctor discovered the problem was caused by a rare plant. Police traced the plant to the hiking trail, removed it, and Peter recovered within a month, ready to resume his dating life.
