MARK BRODIE: On the last day of the Arizona State Fair this fall, Jenna Trybus’ 12-year-old daughter, Lucy, and her dad went — they rode some rides and visited the petting zoo.

JENNA TRYBUS: That was on a Sunday. And then on Wednesday, I got a call from her school that she wasn’t feeling well. She didn’t look well. She just was feeling, had a little bit of nausea and was just really tired and had ended up with a fever that day. So we came home from school.
