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.

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.
