Valley Fever or Coccidioidomycocis is a fact of life in Arizona and California’s arid lands. Many people who are living and traveling to these areas come in contact with the pores of this sometimes fatal disease. Some of the symptoms can be a flu-like cough, constant fatigue, joint pain, unexplainable headaches after the period of incubation. So if you know you have been in some parts of Arizona or California, you may want to check with an infectious disease expert. Infectious disease experts who are familiar with the symptoms of the disease will perform a battery of tests on you to find out or rule out Valley Fever. As a survivor of Valley Fever, I can tell you that I went through all tests for major diseases until my infectious disease expert finds out that I had caught Valley Fever.

The worst case scenario is that you may have caught the pores of the disease while traveling in California and Arizona. You have since returned home. And you have never been the same ever since. You start to display all the above symptoms, just remember to rule out Valley Fever. If left untreated and unmanaged, it could kill you.

Those who are more susceptible to this disease are the islanders, non-natives of these two places (even the natives can catch it too), Pacific islanders, people who work in the field, field workers, construction workers, anybody whose immunity is weak and who has not developed any resistance to the disease can catch it.

Considering how much time it will take to treat and how much money you will spend, it is worth knowing about this disease’s effects on your health and productivity.

What’s your story of Valley Fever? Remember that you can only catch it from the environment. Somebody who has it can not infect you. You will catch it through your contact with these places, some parts of Arizona and California. In California, we have Bakersfield, Coalinga, Huron, etc. which are known as hotbeds for the pores of the disease. Arizona is also known to have many cases of this disease.

Valley Fever or Coccidioidomycocis As Dangerous as H1N1

Did you know that H1N1 was as brutal on your body as the effects of Valley Fever? Well, ask somebody who has been affected by this drought–caused, airborne disease present in the soil of Arizona dessert and parts of California.

Despite the fact that Valley Fever is very dangerous to some groups of the population, not too much attention is given to it. H1N1 is judged more violent. And more state and federal resources are dedicated to the creation of vaccines and other treatment.

As a survivor of Valley Fever, I would say that Valley Fever is as dangerous or even more dangerous than H1N1.

California Cocci Secrets Revealed: How is Valley Fever Diagnosed and Treated? Is There any Vaccine against the fungus or Cocci?

You may not know you are infected with the cocci infection weeks and months later. By that time, you may be living in another state or country. Now you may wonder how many people may have been unknowingly exposed to cocci while visiting, working, and studying in California. Is there any booklet or brochure from the Tourism Department on this disease? Maybe yes, maybe not. Yet, California needs healthy tourists who will return to spend money here. Sick and dead people do not travel!

You can pick up the infection while being on business in California, and specially in the hot breeding grounds such as Bakersfield, Coalinga and elsewhere in the great San Joaquin Valley. It is not uncommon to develop the Valley Fever symptoms way later after you have been back home. What are you going to do when no doctors know about or can recognize the disease?……..
