*Home>>>Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

My friend got stomach probs from a tick, but it isn't spotted - to the ER with him?


he's lethargic, has diarrhoea, and feels pretty much like crap. the tick was NOT a rocky-mountain spotted fever tick, so why did he have such a reaction? and is this no big deal, or should he get a frikkin medivac'ed to the CDC stat?

there are several diseases ticks can cause- get him to doctor and let them figure what he has been exposed to. Rocky Mountian Fever is an illness not a tick type and you can catch it from several species of ticks.

may be ehrlichiosis

Your doctor or local hospital through emergency can help and answer your quesions
