       > A Rhode Island man named Tyson Bottenus has a rare, toxic
       black fungus growing in his brain as a result of a bike accident
       he sustained in Costa Rica in 2018. The rare fungus, which has
       only been known to affect approx 120 people since 1911, is
       believed to have entered Bottenus' body through a scrape on his
       arm.
       >
       > Bottenus opened up about his experience in a first-person
       essay for BuzzFeed. He says he has suffered from effects like
       devastating headaches, memory loss, and a stroke. One doctor
       told him ‘it really makes no sense’ that he is still alive.
       >
       > ‘I’ve fought this fungal infection with ten brain surgeries,
       five spinal taps, and two sets of cyborg-like tubes implanted to
       connect my brain’s ventricles to my abdomen,’ Bottenus writes.
       ‘I’ve had a stroke, and with it serious impairments that have
       required me to relearn how to walk, talk, and read. None of
       these procedures has removed the mold in my brain. But I’m still
       alive.’
       >
       > Bottenus says he is now on a new treatment plan, one that he
       is ‘hopeful’ will allow him to live a long life in spite of the
       fungus.
       >
       > ‘I can’t escape the uncertainty around my future, but no one
       can. I just have to learn to live with it,’ Bottenus concludes
       his essay. ‘Like my doctor said, none of this makes any sense,
       but it also doesn’t have to.’
