There's a "Mysterious Fungus" infecting the American Southwest. Valley Fever has been around for more than 100 years, and affects poor farm workers, prisoners, and people living in endemic areas. For some, it becomes a lifelong illness which is baffling the medical community. How does a tiny fungal spore cause so much havoc? With an 800% increase in cases since 2011 in California, and a 30% increase since 2016, why did Governor Jerry Brown just veto a bill that would increase awareness and save lives? This episode is a "Must Listen" as Valley Fever Advocate, Community Activist Wife, Mother, and lover of life Julie Solis joins our "Nurse Expert" Abner Vilches RN, MSN, C-FNP to discuss Valley Fever, diagnosis, misdiagnosis, pathology, asessment, and treatment as well as the politics behind this "Fun-Guy!"
