this rattled me today, because I was reminded of my archeologists. Many of whom got sick and some died, in Northern California, 1970. Of Valley fever. They were all from Queens, New York City students, and many were vulnerable due to their genetics, Italian, darker skin types, some Jewish folks.
I spent the summer hanging out at the dig, quite often.
WOW what if I have some weird version of Valley Fever?
