A desert fungus that infects humans is spreading

I worked with our on-site health reporter Keren Landman to create this video version of her article.

This particular topic was challenging to cover because it's shrouded in mystery. Lack of funding and research has made it hard to know exactly how the fungus that causes valley fever is spreading, but we do know it's happening. Cases are often mistaken for viral pneumonia and a misdiagnosis can have serious repercussions. The ultimate goal of this piece was to help spread awareness in an entertaining way.

I reported, wrote, edited, designed, animated, and shot this piece.
