There are fungi that break down plastics. Maybe if we are lucky we can find a fungi that wants to feed off of the poisons that we eat and live in our bodies taking up what our organs can't safely absorb.
This is how we end up living in The Last of Us.
I for one welcome our fungal overlords. I look forward to a world of peace brought by the shared mycilial network.
Could also have a type of penicillin that we inject to clear the plastic out of our blood if we go that route.
Put the fungus in your blood, no problems will happen I'm sure.
