The article is pretty clear on the fact that the link between wild fire and valley fever is not shown in research, and that wilderness fire fighters get the fever due to digging up soil (a proven vector that also means construction workers often get the virus) to make fire lines, rather than from smoke.
And most of the article is talking about the climate conditions valley fever needs to thrive, and how the areas meeting those conditions are expanding with climate change,
Oh but let’s blame poor wild fire management because it’s trendy.
