Five attendees of a California music festival contracted Valley fever after inhaling *Coccidioides* fungal spores. Given the attendance of over 20,000 people, more cases may emerge. This respiratory illness can be severe 🫁 🌵🏜️⚠️ #ValleyFever #HealthAlert #fungi #festival

Especially important to take a travel history for those presenting outside of endemic areas. Symptom onset may be delayed by weeks from exposure.
