Valley fever—also known as coccidioidomycosis—is an infection caused by exposure to the coccidioides fungus or mold, which is commonly found in the desert of the southwestern United States. Though not contagious, valley fever can cause symptoms like cough, fever, rashes, and tiredness just a few weeks after inhaling the fungus spores.
