Interesting...
I'm not certain about this guy but the Indonesian "Tree-Man" guy we also had recently was definitely adult-onset, having an infected cut while working.
I was thinking more in terms of less blood-flow to the extremities and more skin/volume ratio, meaning fewer white blood cells to fight more bugs.
The keratin point is a good one; especially if we include facial hair.
Hmmmmm....
