Diet. The Mountain, or Rocky Mountain, goat, when living in the wild or in the cold grasslands or cliffs of North America, has been observed to thrive rather well upon a mostly green diet consisting of lichens, shrubs, sedges, grasses, herbs, fern mosses and leaves.
Colorado tick fever, also known as Mountain tick fever, is a viral disease. Lyme disease can start with a red rash, flu-like symptoms or joint pain, progressing to include severe headaches, arthritis, cardiac abnormalities and central nervous system disorders.
Lyme disease and tick fever are both the result of tick bites and share similar symptoms, but they have little else in common. To avoid both infections, apply insect repellent and wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, sturdy shoes and a hat. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by deer ticks.
