if you haven't been exposed to it however, Valley Fever is common to the San Joaquin valley. Valley Fever is a soil-borne spore that infects the lungs, and sets you up permanently as it's host. It is present year round but becomes most active in the summer and fall (dry windy times of year). I understand there is now a simple skin test that your doctor can do to find out if you would be suseptable to the spore. I suggest you find out more about Valley Fever before you dig in the San Joaquin valley. I ended up with it after digging in San Bonito county. -Betty Cunningham |
