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.
These ticks also spread the bacterial diseases tularemia, ehrlichiosis, and tick paralysis. If you're bitten, you may see redness around the bite. Rocky Mountain spotted fever symptoms include fever, headache, and body aches that come on suddenly within 3 to 12 days of the bite.
