Thousands of people who attended a popular California music festival are being warned they may have been exposed to a life-threatening fungus.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) said it is investigating a cluster of Valley Fever cases identified among attendees of the music festival Lightning in a Bottle in Buena Vista Lake, which was held from May 21 to 25.
More than 20,000 people attended the event and five have been diagnosed with Valley Fever. Three of the infected have been hospitalized.
Valley fever - which got its name because a majority of cases are found in Arizona and California - is a deadly infection that kills one in 100 people that contract it.

Tulare dust in a farm boy's
Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
Wondering where the freight train goes
Standin' in the field by the railroad track
Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack
I can see mom and dad with shoulders low
Both of 'em pickin' on a double row
They do it for a livin' because they must
That's life like it is in the Tulare dust
The California sun was something new
That when we arrived in '42
And I can still remember how my daddy cussed
The tumbleweeds here in the Tulare dust
The valley fever was a common fate
To the farmworkers here in the Golden State
And I miss Oklahoma but I'll stay if I must
And help make a livin' in the Tulare dust
The Tulare dust in a farm boy's nose
Wondering where the freight train goes
Standin' in the field by the railroad track
Cursin' this strap on my cotton sack

There might be a lake named Buena Vista out that way, but the festival was held just outside of Bakersfield.
