Early one cold January morning, residents of Northridge, California slept quietly, unaware of the terrible force hurling toward them from dozens of miles inside the earth. When the quake hit at 6:33 A.M., most of them would only survive the next 36 seconds because of luck or a well built house, and many officials still consider it a miracle that only 63 people died. While the 3996 Northridge earthquake injured thousands and caused billions of dollars in damage, what no one knew at the time was that it had also released a different potential killer, whose impact would last a lot longer than 36 seconds. The quake had stirred up the soil all over Ventura County and had propelled billions of spores of Coccidioides immitis into the air. Valley Fever had come to the Greater Los Angeles area, and by the time the three year epidemic was over, infections would rise from 611 to 6,611 patients per year and would cost more than $66 million in hospital and outpatient costs. All because an earthquake set a fungus free.
