(SACRAMENTO) One day in early 2022, as Haytham Almunir got into his friend’s car to join him for lunch, he noticed the fingers on one of his hands suddenly stiffened and stuck together. He separated them with the other hand, but they immediately stuck back together.
As his friend drove, he asked Almunir questions. Almunir noticed he couldn’t find the words to respond.
“My friend was asking me questions, but I couldn’t answer. When no words were coming, I got really scared,” he said.
