WWW.FOXNEWS.COMValley fever cases spike to record levels in West Coast state, health officials warnCases of Valley fever are spiking in California, according to health officials.As of the end of July, there were 6,761 cases confirmed which means if this pace continues, the total 2025 numbers will likely exceed the 12,595 cases seen in 2024.Last years total was a new record for the state, where the average has been 7,000 to 9,000 cases annually between 2016 and 2024, per data from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).MOSQUITO-BORNE DENGUE FEVER CASES SURGE AT POPULAR US VACATION DESTINATIONThe case count is likely to increase due to delays in reporting."Valley fever is a serious illness thats here to stay in California," said Erica Pan, director of the state public health department, in a statement.Named after the San Joaquin Valley in California, Valley fever is an infection caused by breathing in the spores of a fungus called Coccidioides, which originates in the soil.Southern Arizona and Southern California have the highest volume of cases, per the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) but the disease is also prevalent in New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Washington State.Research has shown that periods of drought followed by precipitation can promote growth of the Valley fever fungus, sending spores into the air that people breathe in.MORE CASES OF DEADLY FLESH-EATING BACTERIAL INFECTION IN POPULAR VACATION DESTINATIONDr. George Thompson, a professor at UC Davis Health and co-director of the Center for Valley fever in Sacramento, previously spoke with Fox News Digital about the ramp-up in cases."We have seen a gradual increase in cases over the last five years, and a greater number of patients are coming into our clinic for diagnosis and treatment," he said at the time.While geographic location heightens the overall risk of contracting Valley fever, the CDC notes that certain groups are more vulnerable.These include people 60 years of age and older, those who have weakened immune systems as a result of certain diseases or medical conditions, pregnant women,people with diabetes, and people who are Black or Filipino.COULD CHIKUNGUNYA VIRUS SPREAD TO US? HERE'S WHAT AMERICANS SHOULD KNOWSymptoms of Valley fever can vary in type and severity, but they tend to mimic those seen in patients with COVID-19, experts say."Some [people] may have a fever, chills or fatigue, or just feel generally unwell," Thompson of UC Davis Health said.However, he said he does see some severe cases where patients experiencerespiratory illness and difficulty breathing.Other symptoms may include extreme fatigue, bone or joint pain, night sweats, fever, chest pain, severe headaches, weight loss and skin rashes, according to the CDPH.Thompson estimated that for 1% to 3% of people, the infection will leave the lungs and travel to other parts of the body, which canlead to meningitis.People who experience severe Valley fever illness may need to be treated in a hospital, and may need ongoing medical care for months or years, health officials cautioned.Although its rare, people outside the high-risk groups can experience severe effects from Valley fever.One of those is Rob Purdie from California, who contracted Valley fever in 2012 when he was 38. The infection led to meningitis, which caused severe headaches and double vision, he previously told Fox News Digital.The spores of the fungus had spread from his lungs to his brain and nervous system, a potentially fatal condition.More than a decade later, Purdie lives with the lingering effects of disseminated coccidioidal meningitis caused by Valley fever.Since the fungus that causes Valley fever lives in the soil, infection is often "hobby-related," Thompson said. He said he sees many cases among people who are in archeology or who spend a lot of time outdoors.For those in high-risk groups, the doctor recommends avoiding construction sites or areas where soil is often stirred up into the air.People can also wearan N95 respirator, a type of high-quality mask, to minimize exposure in dusty areas.Not everyone who acquires Valley fever requires medical treatment, although some may benefit from antifungal medications.Those who have severe symptoms, take immunocompromising medications, have cancer, have HIV, are pregnant or have had an organ transplant are likely to need antifungals.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERA blood test sent to a lab can confirm a current or prior infection of Valley fever, and a chest X-ray or CT scan can detect cases of pneumonia, according to the CDC.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthAnyone who has experienced cough, fever, fatigue or other Valley fever symptoms for more than seven to 10 days should see a doctor, especially if they have been around dirt or dust in areas where the fungus is prevalent.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 16 Vue 0 Aperçu

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump DOJ handing Epstein documents to House Oversight Committee on Friday as subpoena deadline loomsThe Trump administration will begin handing over documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's case to the House Oversight Committee on Friday, Chair James Comer, R-Ky., said.House investigators originally requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) produce a tranche of files pertaining to the late pedophile and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, by 12 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 19.It's part of a wider bipartisan investigation into the handling of Epstein's case, which has also reached several former attorneys general, FBI directors, and former first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton.HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUBPOENAING BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON OVER GHISLAINE MAXWELL CONNECTIONComer announced Monday afternoon that he would delay the deadline until Friday in light of the DOJ's cooperation."Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us that the Department will begin to provide Epstein-related records to the Oversight Committee this week on Friday. There are many records in DOJs custody, and it will take the Department time to produce all the records and ensure the identification of victims and any child sexual abuse material are redacted," Comer said in a statement."I appreciate the Trump administrations commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter."Comer told reporters earlier Monday that his panel was having "good conversations" with the DOJ related to document production but was noncommittal when asked if the Aug. 19 goal would be met."You can imagine how many documents there are," Comer said. "I think we'll receive the documents very soon. They're compiling everything together."Comer said the DOJ was cooperating "in a good faith effort."SCHUMER CLAIMS TRUMP ADMIN WITHHOLDING EPSTEIN FILES, THREATENS TO SUERequested materials included all documents and communications in the DOJ's possession relating to both Epstein and Maxwell, as well as files "further relating or referring to human trafficking, exploitation of minors, sexual abuse, or related activity."Documents relating specifically to the DOJ's prosecutions of Epstein and Maxwell, Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida, and any materials related to Epstein's death were requested.The House Oversight Committee asked for the documents to be largely unredacted, according to a subpoena obtained by Fox News Digital, "except for redactions to protect the personally identifiable information of victims, for any child sex abuse material as defined by the Department of Justice Manual, and any other redactions required by law."The deadline comes a day after former Attorney General Bill Barr was deposed by the House Oversight Committee behind closed doors. Barr was the first person scheduled to appear in the committee's probe under subpoena.The Clintons both have separate deposition dates scheduled for October.Comer was directed to send the flurry of subpoenas after a House Oversight Committee subcommittee panel voted in favor of them during an unrelated hearing in July.Renewed furor over Epstein's case engulfed Capitol Hill after intra-GOP fallout over the Trump administration's handling of the matter.The DOJ effectively declared the case closed after an "exhaustive review," revealing Epstein had no "client list," did not blackmail "prominent individuals," and confirmed he did die by suicide in a New York City jail while awaiting prosecution.In response to the backlash by some on the right, Trump directed the DOJ to release grand jury testimony related to Epstein a request that's been tied up in courts since then while Attorney General Pam Bondi had her deputy, Todd Blanche, interview Maxwell in person to uncover any possible new information.Comer also subpoenaed Maxwell but agreed to defer her scheduled deposition until after the Supreme Court heard her appeal to overturn her conviction.Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ for comment but did not immediately hear back.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 29 Vue 0 Aperçu

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump hits back ceasefire not necessary for peace during high-stakes meeting with ZelenskyyPresident Donald Trump said a ceasefire agreement is not necessary when pressed about his administration's efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine during a high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelenskyy at the White House Monday."Mr. President. Last week you warned of what you called severe consequences if a 30-day ceasefire or any type of ceasefire were not agreed to by Russia. Will there be severe consequences? Does that change because of." a reporter asked Trump from the Oval Office during a bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy.Trump responded that a ceasefire is not necessary, pointing to other peace deals he inked this year that did not include ceasefires as wars raged."I don't think you need ceasefire. You know, if you look at the six deals that I settled this year, they were all at war," Trump responded. "I didn't do any ceasefires. And I know that it might be good to have, but I can also understand strategically why, you know, one country or the other wouldn't want it."TRUMP: WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE PEACE DEAL, 'NOT A MERE CEASEFIRE'Trump has notched other peace agreements in 2025, such as a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda in June, and the ArmeniaAzerbaijan peace agreement inked earlier in August.TRUMP SAYS HE 'WON'T BE HAPPY' IF PUTIN DOES NOT AGREE TO A CEASEFIRE IN UKRAINE DURING ALASKA SUMMIT"I didn't do any ceasefires. Would I like I like the concept," Trump said. "You know, I like the concept of a ceasefire for one reason, because you'd stop killing people immediately as opposed to in two weeks or one week or whatever it takes. But we can work a deal where we're working on a peace deal while they're fighting. They have to fight. I wish they could stop. I'd like them to stop, but strategically, that could be a disadvantage for one side or the other. But all of these deals I made without even the mention of the word ceasefire."Trump traveled to Alaska Friday for an historic face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said ahead of the meeting that Russia would face "severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to end the war.ZELENSKYY, AHEAD OF TRUMP-PUTIN MEETING, SAYS THERE IS 'NO SIGN' RUSSIA WANTS TO END THE WARWar has raged between Russia and Ukraine since February 2022, with Trump repeatedly arguing the war would not have broken out if he had been president during former President Joe Biden's tenure.Following the Putin meeting, which did not include a ceasefire or peace agreement, Trump has urged Ukraine to accept a land swap deal with Russia, arguing it is the most efficient way to end the war.Trump did previously tout ceasefires agreements as he worked to secure peace in other nations earlier in 2025, such as in May when he celebrated the end to India and Pakistan's conflict via a ceasefire."After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"Trump posted to Truth Social Saturday that he intended to streamline the peace deal, and that a "mere ceasefire agreement" would not suffice."It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere ceasefire agreement, which often times do not hold up," Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post.On Monday, Zelensky is also set to join a cohort of European heads of state who are also visiting the White House, including: French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 33 Vue 0 Aperçu

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump: Europe will take a lot of the burden in providing security guarantees for UkrainePresident Donald Trump predicted Monday that European allies would bear the brunt of responsibility providing Ukraine certain security guarantees to prevent Russian aggression, but that the U.S. would also help them.Trumps comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with other European leaders, visited Washington, D.C., to advance peace talks to end the war in Ukraine just days after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin."President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine. And this is one of the key points that we need to consider," Trump said Monday during a meeting with European leaders at the White House. "And, we're going to be considering that at the table. Also, like who will do what? Essentially, I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement that would deter any future aggression against Ukraine."ZELENSKYY HEADS INTO CRUCIAL TRUMP MEETING AS US WEIGHS SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR KYIV"I think that the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden," Trump said. "We're going to help them, and we're going to make it very secure. We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory, taking into consideration the current line of contact. That means the war zone, the war line center. Pretty obvious. Very sad, actually, to look at them and negotiating positions."Trump said Sunday that Ukraine could end the war immediately if it agreed to cede Crimea to Russia, and abandon its bid for NATO membership. Meanwhile, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff also said Sunday that Putin has agreed to allow the U.S. and other European allies to provide additional protection for Ukraine, similar to protections included in NATOs Article 5 mutual defense clause.ZELENSKYY ARRIVES IN WASHINGTON, DC FOR TRUMP MEETING, URGES LASTING PEACE WITH RUSSIALikewise, Trump said earlier Monday that he hadnt ruled out the possibility that U.S. troops could be dispatched to Ukraine following a peace negotiation to deter Russian aggression to support other European allies bolstering security for Ukraine. Although he refrained from sharing specific details, Trump said that the U.S. is "going to help them out also, we'll be involved."For his part, Zelenskyy said U.S. backing on security guarantees is critical to delivering stability to Ukraine."Security in Ukraine depends on the United States and on you and on those leaders who are with us in our hearts," Zelenskyy said Monday."We spoke about it and we will speak more about security guarantees," Zelenskyy said. "This is very important that the United States gives such strong signal and is ready for security guarantees."EUROPEAN LEADERS WILL JOIN TRUMP-ZELENSKYY MEETING, SIGNALING SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINEMeanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europe is aware that it will shoulder much of the weight of responsibility tied to various security guarantees and acknowledged it is necessary in order to preserve each respective countrys safety."In order to have such a long-standing peace for Ukraine and for the whole continent, we do need the security guarantees," Macron said. "And the first one is clearly a credible Ukrainian army. For the years and decades to come. And the second one is our own commitments. All of usYou can be sure that the Europeans are very lucid about the fact that they have their fair share in the security guarantees for Ukraine, but their own security is clearly at stake in this situation."0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMRams' Matthew Stafford returns to practice after missing time due to back injuryEvery Los Angeles Rams fan was smiling ear to ear on Monday after seeing who was on the practice field.Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has been dealing with an aggravated disc in his back, was seen in a red practice jersey alongside his teammates. The Rams tweeted out a picture of Stafford heading to the field, where he participated in drills.Though it was limited work, head coach Sean McVay liked what he saw from his starter.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I thought he did a good job today," McVay told reporters. "We had 26 plays of team, and he did a really nice job of managing the huddle. I thought he saw the field well, I thought he went where the ball should go and there was some good competitive work on both sides today."McVay added that, despite Staffords impressive showing at practice, the Rams will be taking things cautiously with him moving forward. He referred to the situation as "very fluid" so as not to put anything definitive on his status leading up to Week 1.Staffords status at training camp has been murky, to say the least. There havent been strong updates on his health, and it was reported that he received an epidural to try to deal with his back issue.McVay, however, broke through the gray area a bit when he mentioned last week that Staffords next step would be showing up at practice. The Rams began the week with the 37-year-old on the field alongside his teammates, a sign that hes trending in a positive direction.There are just under three weeks left of preseason before the regular season grind commences, so the Rams are certainly hoping Stafford can be game-ready when its time to take the field against the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 7.The Rams are hoping for yet another playoff berth in 2025 after going 10-7 to earn one in 2024. Stafford threw for just 20 touchdowns to eight interceptions over that span.He has a new look at receiver this year, though, as Davante Adams joins the Rams after difficult stints with the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. He fills the hole left by Cooper Kupp, Staffords trusted receiving weapon who was traded to the Seattle Seahawks this offseason.With Puka Nacuas emergence as a true top wideout for Los Angeles, Kupp became expendable, though the history between quarterback and receiver was potent. The Rams Super Bowl LVI victory saw Kupp play a vital role in getting there in the first place, having won the receiving Triple Crown that season by leading the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Kupp caught the game-winning touchdown from Stafford with 1:25 left in the game, which just so happened to be at SoFi Stadium.But that was then, and this is now a time where the Rams sole focus is making sure Stafford is healthy for Week 1 and throughout the 2025 campaign.If he isnt ready to go by then, Jimmy Garoppolo will likely replace him as the teams backup quarterback. The Rams did announce Garoppolo would not take part in the preseason, which pointed to him being the teams No. 2 option.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu
