It is something city doctors never consider or check for. They have some stupid notion that it is impossible to get in the city. To them it is a “Country” disease only so it must be something else.
Had a friend almost die from it because of this bias neglect. So if you are in the city and think you might have it you have to insist they check for it or they will not.
Illegal alienitis
A fungus already took over California a long time ago.
Valley Fever has always been most associated with Farm workers who used to come & go in & out of the USA.
I will bet $$$$$$$ that the influx of illegal invaders have brought this scourge back to the USA.
Of course, it’s due to the dreaded climate change. Sheesh!
Valley fever and histoplasmosis are not common, but not rare, fungal lung infections. Most people have minor symptoms and cure themselves. Histoplasmosis used to be a marker for AIDS infections back in the day.
I assume there will be a story about climate change and histoplasmosis infection in the near future.
Playing off the “The Last of Us” show and video game that’s so popular now. What a crock. Just a ploy for more money.
Without fungi we wouldn’t have ethyl alcohol (that’s the drinking kind), sourdough bread or Gorgonzola cheese.
