Five patients with valley fever were at the “Lightning in a Bottle” music festival at Buena Vista Lake in Kern County, California.
The California Department of Public Health is warning attendees of a local music festival that cases of the potentially deadly valley fever spread among people who were at the event.
Of the five reported cases, three people were hospitalized. CDPH said more cases linked to the event are possible. While a vaccine is still in the works and not yet available, people can reduce their risk of infection by avoiding places like construction or excavation sites with a lot of dust or where dirt is being disturbed, the CDC said.
