CHERISH YOUR HEALTH . Living in Desert areas you can be diagnosed with valley fever and didnt know about it for a while, due to the small symptoms in some people. Good chances are some complications can happen very quickly with your health. Very quickly it can cause a lung to collapse. Then you will be spending the next month or two in the hospital possibly with a chest tube having to be inserted.
If your in an area and do alot of landscaping even outside the desert its still possible ALWAYS WEAR DUST MASKS. Youll thank me later :)
