FA month after a climbing trip from El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park, Tony McIntosh became extremely sick. It was not looking good as the team of doctors worked to figure out his mysterious illness. His nervous system was being viciously attacked, which led to weeks of not being able to eat, sleep, and in constant pain from Trigeminal Neuralgia. As weeks turned into months the sickness moved into his frontal lobe portion of his brain and started to attack his hearing and vision. The doctors narrowed in on a bacterial infection and started a treatment with a protocol similar to treating an Anthrax exposure.
