sick in Yuma
Just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is in Yuma and he said a lot of people are sick with valley fever , the hospital is full and they won't let you visit for fear you will get sick too.

And..... back to the original topic......
University of Arizona - Valley Fever
"Two-thirds of all US Valley Fever Infections are contracted in Arizona".
San Joaquin County (CA) Public Services
Covers: Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention, What is VF, Who gets VF, How the spores affect the body, Symptoms".
For the folks that have "lived in AZ (or?) for 50 years", and never had VF - - they might actually have it with no ill effects:
(From San Joaquin info) -
"Perhaps as many as 60-70% of all people infected with cocci develop no symptoms at all".

Unfortunately, for some - the effects of VF can be very debilitating and/or life threatening:(
