Calif. Girl, 17, Dies From 'Usually' Nonfatal Fungus Spores Found in Soil BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,396782,00.html A 17-year-old Bakersfield girl has lost a two-year battle with valley fever, a usually nonfatal illness caused by fungus spores in the soil. Jacalynn Hernandez died Friday at UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital. The teen began suffering headaches and vomiting at the end of her freshman year. She was hospitalized after a lesion developed on her nose and her weight dropped from 180 to 96 pounds. The fungus attacked her internal organs, skin, bones, brain and blood. She also contracted pancreatitis and meningitis.Valley fever is found in the San Joaquin Valley and other Western states. Only 1 percent of people who contract it suffer serious illness. The fungus that causes valley fever lives in the soil and releases its spores into the air. Outbreaks occur during weather changes, dust storms and earthquakes, all of which increase the amount of valley fever spores dispersed into the air, according to the Web site valley-fever.org.
Fungal really seems to match the ongoings of Morgellons. This poor girl, makes you wonder whether she might have lived has she followed our protocols?

Coccidiomycosis was the cause. What a terrible shame.
Sure makes me wonder too, if Morgs wasn't involved.

So I guess they autopsied her to know that it attacked her organs and bones, etc.... Seems like there should be more info about autopsies and these fungal/mold/morgellons/lyme deaths.

San Joaquin Valley =========== This is mentioned in his book where they grew the first BT cotton.I read this book when I first acquired Morgellons and he also talks some horrific unspeakable things that have already been done "to us". In this provocative and far-reaching book, Jeremy Rifkin argues that the computer revolution is merely a prelude to a far more significant change taking place in the global economy. We are in the midst of a great historic transition into the Age of Biotechnology. Rifkin notes that after more than forty years of running on parallel tracks, the information and life sciences are fusing into a single powerful technological and economic force that is laying the foundation for the Biotech Century. The computer is increasingly being used to decipher, manage, and organize the vast genetic information that is the raw resource of the new global economy. Already, transnational corporations are creating giant life-sciences complexes from which to fashion a bio-industrial world. Our way of life, says Rifkin, is likely to be transformed more fundamentally in the next few decades than in the previous thousand years. Food and fiber may be grown indoors in giant bacteria baths, partially eliminating the farmer and the soil for the first time in history. Animal and human cloning could be commonplace, with "replication" increasingly replacing "reproduction". Millions of people could obtain a detailed genetic readout of themselves, allowing them to gaze into their own biological futures and predict and plan their lives in ways never before possible. Parents may choose to have their children gestated in artificial wombs outside the human body. Genetic changes could be made in human fetuses to correct deadly diseases and disorders and enhance mood, behavior, intelligence, and physical traits. The Biotech Century promises a cornucopia of genetically engineered plants and animals to feed a hungry world; genetically derived sources of energy and fiber to propel commerce and build a "renewable" society; wonder drugs and genetic therapies to produce healthier babies, eliminate human suffering, and extend the human life span. But with every step we take into this brave new world, the nagging question will haunt us: "At what cost?" The new genetic commerce raises more troubling questions than any other economic revolution in history. Will the artificial creation of cloned, chimeric, and transgenic animals mean the end of nature and the substitution of a "bio-industrial" world? Will the mass release of thousands of genetically engineered life forms into the environment cause catastrophic genetic pollution and irreversible damage to the biosphere? What are the consequences-for both the global economy and society-of reducing the world's gene pool to patented intellectual property controlled exclusively by a handful of life-science corporations? What will it mean to live in a world where babies are genetically engineered and customized in the womb, and where people are increasingly identified, stereotyped, and discriminated against on the basis of their genotype? What are the risks we take in attempting to design more "perfect" human beings? Rifkin explores these and many other critical issues in this ground-breaking book about the coming era.

Hi Billie,
See where all the thread subjects are on the beginning page? Acutally where you look for a subject to post comments to. Okay, right at the top of the list look to your right, there's a yellow bar that goes across the top, see ( "new thread") just click that on.

Its a shame she had to die. Did not catch if she was under medical care. If so, did it take her death to identify her condition? My God if the doctors had gotten her IV in time she would have lived. Scary that after 12 years of schooling no one could help. Shame. There were 89 deaths due to fungal complications in a Houston hospital early last year. According to staff, they were all told to "hush, hush". Google: tinyurl.com/6ze4pn

My thoughts exactly Kamefromsky, the medical community is so "in the box", I feel bad for her.

Wow I've been alone with this for a few years. I have read back posts and its great to have all this collective experience here. I want to read that book about the biotech century. That poor girl with the mold! It does sound a lot like morgellons. Seems to me this is a manmade beast with fungal and insect properties. How fun to feel like a walking experiment
