What are the symptoms of Rocky mountain spotted yellow fever?

I know ticks carry them and i had one on my neck yesterday.

Initial symptoms may include:

fever
nausea
vomiting
severe headache
muscle pain
lack of appetite
Later signs and symptoms include:

petechial rash
abdominal pain
joint pain
diarrhea

Also,

The signs and symptoms of RMSF may follow within 1 to 14 days of a tick bite. But in many cases, someone who develops the infection doesn't remember being bitten by a tick.

Symptoms of RMSF usually begin suddenly. There is a high fever - often 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) to 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) - with chills, muscle aches, and a severe headache. Eyes may become red, muscles may be tender to the touch, and there may be abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and fatigue.

Here are some sites about it:

Here you go.

Initial - fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle pain, lack of appetite.
Later - rash, abdominal and joint pain, diarrhea

The best thing to do is go to your Doctor if you feel tired that is one of the first signs of the fever.DO NOT SIT AT HOME GO TO THE DOCTOR
