I had valley fever when I was a kid in AZ. It can be quite debilitating, and left a shadow on my lung. Later in high school when I was at some digs in the desert, they warned everyone about it as a general rule, although I hadn’t heard of anyone catching it. It stays in your body a long time after, when I was still little, I had great fun telling doctors I had coccidioidomycosis that might show up on a test, if they hadn’t been in AZ very long, they’d never heard of it.
