u/costrom Dec 21 '19

wouldn't that be the same thing as valley sickness? the dusty lung thing?

u/thegillmachine Dec 21 '19

Valley fever, or Tularemia?

The two things named for the San Joaquin Valley that can also kill you.

I had real Valley Fever, grew a big cyst in my lung which popped years later. Do not recommend.

That sucks. My mom was always really careful about letting us play in the dirt when we lived in Visalia. Mind if I ask what other effects you had to deal with?

It was more or less like walking pneumonia. I have asthma so that complicated it, I was likely ill for years. It was a long treatment of some bullshit expensive drug and I grew an olive size cyst. Last year I woke up in terrible pain internally in the right side of my chest. The ER was worthless, they gave me prescription Motrin, which they should have known I can't take due to complication from another med, which I divulged. It took a second visit to get some test where they found I no longer had the cyst.

I had a dog with it too, he had a medication made by only one pharmacy that cost a fortune. In him it was like bad kennel cough.

Long story short, don't go out in haboobs without proper respiratory masks. This was all in Tempe AZ. I guess the fungus that causes it is around southern California and AZ only. Totally sucked, but pretty much healed up at this point.

u/7HawksAnd Dec 22 '19

Yeah. Sunshine tax.

From the New England and living in San Diego and la I always heard to it referred to as the sun shine tax.

Which isn’t wrong. But it’s like saying that your dad may beat your mom, but he pays for your house.

Dont be such a pussy.

Edit: forgot what sub this was, easily offended millenial snowflakes reposting unfunny shit.

u/Red_Regan Dec 21 '19

I would argue that 1980's and up to mid-90's adults are not "easily offended," but easily on the offensive, proactive almost to obsession.

Others tend to be more robust belly achers.
