  • Summary

  • Coccidioidomycosis, better known as Valley Fever, is a zoonotic disease caused by a fungus. In this episode, we delve into the biological basics of Valley Fever as well its social implications, truly encapsulating the HBS way! Join us as we uncover four “mysteries” that reveal a unique relationship between dirt and disease. Maybe dirt isn't just a passive thing we should ignore… maybe it’s alive!

    Produced by Abigail Holder, Nahomy Cabrera and Megan Markow
