Can I be next to them? Do I have to get rid of them all together?

Valley Fever (coccioidomycosis) is not transmissible from one sick person to another. You MUST acquire it from the spores (usually from the dust).
While cats may get Valley Fever, they can't get it from you.

This site talks about Valley Fever. First time I ever heard about it. (You learn something new everyday)

Apparently they can get it too but I can't find a site that answers if they can get it from people.
