- Coccidioidomycosis
(Valley Fever)
is a disease caused by a fungus (mold). The fungus lives in
the soil of the central valley of California and the deserts
of the Southwestern US and northwestern Mexico. It usually affects
the lungs but can affect other parts of the body as well. It
is commonly called cocci or valley fever. You can be infected
by breathing in the fungus while you are camping, working or
digging in the desert. The fungus can also infect you when it
is picked up by desert winds and blown in to the area where
you live. It cannot be passed from one person top another or
through contact with an infected animal. For more information
visit the Center for Disease Control website at: www.cdc.gov/.
