Every year in the United States, there are about 200 deaths related to Valley fever. Just over 20,000 valley fever cases were reported in 2019, according to the federal health agency. John Galgiani, MD, director of the Valley Fever Center for Excellence at the University of Arizona and associate clinical professor of Internal Medicine with the College of Medicine – Phoenix, stresses that this type of infection is not at all contagious — it cannot be transmitted from one human to another, unlike COVID-19 or the flu.
