Valley Fever, a fungal infection affecting the lungs, is on the rise in California, with reported cases quadrupling in the last decade. Experts link the increase to dust storms driven by a warming climate. While most cases are mild, the disease can cause serious health issues for some. Public health officials recommend precautions, especially in affected areas like Kern County.
