Valley fever symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, and body aches. These symptoms can look like other common respiratory illnesses (like COVID-19), but Valley fever is caused by a fungus found in outdoor dust, not a virus. If you have a cough and fever that won’t go away, ask a health care provider if it could be Valley fever. Some people are at higher risk of getting very sick.
