LAS VEGAS (FOX5) – The dust and dirt settled after the valley’s major wind storm, and health officials have been warning the public about Valley Fever.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Valley Fever is a fungus that is in the soil. When wind or construction push the dirt into the air, people unknowingly breathe it in. It creates flu-like symptoms and can be deadly in rare cases.
