  1. Valley fever scares the shit out of me. I found out about this fungal disease when we adopted our puppy @luna. She was three-months-old when she got pneumonia. After all normal treatments failed, her vet finally decided to try anti-fungal treatments. Within hours she improved, but the spores remain in her system. She's almost five now, but still depends on daily medication to hold the fungus at bay.

    The disease impacts humans the same way. Some are cured quickly, in others it becomes chronic, having to spend hundreds of dollars a month on medication.

    Oh, and this is another disease that's thriving because of
    climate change.
