Fungus Outbreak at Music Festival Sparks Concern

A viral fungus outbreak at the Lightning In A Bottle festival in California has led to three people being hospitalized.

The festival, which attracted around 20,000 attendees, is suspected to have exposed many to the dangerous fungus known as valley fever.

Valley fever, which is found in soil and dirt, can cause symptoms like coughing, headaches, and rashes, and in severe cases, can be fatal.

Health officials are investigating the outbreak and the festival organizers are taking steps to prevent future incidents.
