More cases of valley fever, a respiratory tract infection caused by a fungus, have been found in San Mateo County lately.
“The switch between dry conditions during a drought and rainy winters following a drought creates the right conditions for the fungus to thrive,” read the county’s Communicable Diseases Quarterly Report for the first quarter of 2023.
