Read up about Valley Fever. Not to be alarmist, but a good friend wintered in AZ and died from it. Doesn't hurt to be informed, though the odds are good you wouldn't catch it, I would think.
10's of thousands winter in AZ and the number of reported cases of Valley fever is miniscule. I know hundreds that winter there and have never heard of any of them coming down with it. Yes, several were told by local doctors they had it, but when they got to better health facilities, NONE actually had the fever.
