Cool California Town w/o Mold (San Joaquin: living in, move, institutes)

[FreeExperience]

I lived in North Bend Oregon for 3 years and LOVED IT! I was used to Amish Country back east for most of my life and living on the coast was an incredibly awesome experience. Unfortunately I had to come back, but now the opportunity has come up where I can move back to the west coast

While I loved living in a cool coastal town, the one thing that I had the biggest problem with was mold.

I'm looking to capture that same cool climate, but in a nice California town, and especially without the mold.

What suggestions do you have?

Thanks

moist = mold
dry = less mold

You'll want to be as far south as possible or in the desert.

Coccidioidomycosis is infection with the spores of the fungus Coccidioides immitis.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection most commonly seen in the desert regions of the southwestern United States, and in Central and South America. You get it by breathing in fungal particles from soil. The infection starts in the lungs.

There are three forms of coccidioidomycosis: acute, chronic, or disseminated.

Acute pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. It almost always mild, with few or no symptoms, and goes away without treatment. The incubation period -- the time between breathing in the spores and becoming sick -- is 7 to 21 days.
Chronic pulmonary coccidioidomycosis can develop 20 or more years after initial infection. Infections (lung abscesses) can form and rupture, releasing pus (empyema) between the lungs and ribs (pleural space).
Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is a widespread form of the disease. Infection spreads to other parts of the body, including the skin, brain, bones, and heart. Meningitis occurs in up to half of all people with disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
Traveling to an area where the fungus is commonly seen raises your risk for this infection.

There were 17,000 cases reported in California over a seven year period and most resulted in mild flu-like symptoms. Very few people ever develop the severe reactions to it. Not really something to worry about. Save for that the less moisture in the air, the less mold activity there is.

My sister's farrier has been unable to work for several months because of it.
