New Air and Soil Testing for Valley Fever Part 1 - Mar 16,2013

New Air and Soil Testing for Valley Fever Hear about it on Valley Fever Survivor Radio! The University of Arizona College of Public Healths Dr. Joe Tabor is our guest on Valley Fever Survivor Radio to discuss his recent project: to detect Valley Fevers spores in the air and soil far more cheaply than ever before. "Because the potentially fatal valley fever fungi are so difficult to isolate from the soil and air I am developing an improved and less expensive petri dish method that does not use laboratory animals. Your tax deductible donations will allow me to validate my method in North, Central, and South America. Funding that exceed the minimum Goal will also be used to collect ecological and exposure data." You can learn more about the project and donate to its funding here: http://www.rockethub.com/projects/18785-valley-fever-fungus-detection-from-soil-and-air Part 2 will air tomorrow.
