I am still. In trauma since my husband was infected. By this. Monster.. ..
We were 1 day in the area of Fresno Ca.
2 weeks any doctor.diagnose he have valley fever.. .aftr. the situation. Got wers.. .the lungs. Were fluided.. .2weeks in ICU….OMG’..sedete. whith. Tube….nearly dying.. . It is so bad. Desies.. ..anybody. can catch. It…
This is a serious infection. Newhall pass along I-5 and up in the Pyramid Lake area are major Valley Fever areas as well as most of the SCV. All of the Antelope Valley and the San Juaquin Valley are Valley Fever areas.
There were cases of Valley Fever after the ’94 earthquake
It is also said if you are raised in a valley fever area you are less likely to get it.
It’s not just a danger to humans. My Shih Tzu caught it too. Protect your pets with the same precautions.
My good friends dad lives in Sunland/Tujunga area and caught it last year. 10 weeks later after he passed away after never making it out of the hospital. Very serious disease
I have been fight valley fever for the past year. I have been FINALLY cleared to be off meds to see if it comes back. It’s horrible. I’m happy I can finally start to move on. Not sure where I got it from. I live here in Santa Clarita but in the same month I was diagnosed I went up north to Fresno. No telling where you can get it.
My brother got it in Santa Clarita also. They we’re doing construction on the football field. It’s a really bad one, glad your feeling better!
I evidently caught it and didn’t know, until we discovered a huge lump of calcified tissue in my right lung, apparently the reason of a Valley Fever infection.
My uncle had it and was very very ill for a long time. Scary stuff.
I have a friend who almost died of it. Got it because of all the new construction up near the Newhall Ranch Rd WalMart. I bet people living near the Newhall Ranch construction may be at risk with all the dust that is being stirred up with the new construction (see article above)
I caught valley fever a couple years ago and had severe pneumonia. I was hospitalized for 7 days and felt like I was dying. The great doctors at Holy Cross and Facey figured it out when antibiotics weren’t working and did a biopsy and determined what it was. As soon as I went on the anti-fungal medicine, my symptoms started improving. After 6 months of taking the medicine I’m finally in good health again but go for check ups every 3 months to make sure it doesn’t come back. Catching it early is really the key.
i caught it when my job was on anza drive, during the construction of the river trail. every day at lunch i’d walk up round mountain. started as a really bad cold, doc thought i had walking pneumonia, gave me antibiotics, wasn’t getting better, got put in hospital, lungs filling up with fluid, took 3 days before they tested for a fungal infection. almost died, but fortunately, as soon as i got on the anti-fungal meds, they drained my lungs, i started walking in the hospital, and thank goodness i was out in a week. the meds wreaked havoc, and i’m at risk for life. avoid dust if you can, and stay aware!
Thanks for sharing this article alot of people even doctors have never heard of valley fever….
Sorry to pass on something so scary but knowledge is a good tool. FYI Stay out of Fresno!,

It is not always a serious illness. I grew up in the Phoenix area. Apparently I had it at some time, probably as a child, but it must’ve been mild enough that we weren’t even aware of it. I always have a positive reaction to the valley fever skin test, but the blood test is always negative, indicating that there is no longer an active illness. Been that way my whole adult life, & I’m now in my 60’s.
It can seriously affect people who are immune compromised . The average healthy individual shouldn’t be as severely affected.

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. I got valley fever when I was about 3 (1969). In the hospital, oxygen tent and everything, but my lungs collapsed and they had to give me a tracheotomy. Now that I am an adult, by accident they have found a nodule on my right lung. Whenever I get sick (which is not often) it always goes to my lungs. I believe that the valley fever I got as a kid has compromised my lungs making them the weakest part of my body.
