What about Valley Fever. We have been cautioned by friends to live in Arizona and have lost dogs to it. Also people can contact it. We will be camping in a motorhome with out poodles if we visit the GC.

I believe valley fever is more of a low desert disease. I have a dog who recovered from it it is not incurable. She had to take medicine that was fairly expensive for about two and a half years but she got over the valley fever. Most people that contacted at the worst they've usually feel like they have the flu for a few days and it's over for most it's a slight cold and rarely it's worse. I have lived in southwest Arizona for over 40 years
