What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne disease caused by a rickettsia (a microbe that differs somewhat from bacteria and virus). Fewer than 50 cases are reported annually in New York State.
Dog ticks carry the Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever agent, and they can transmit it in the first few hrs of attachment. Prompt removal of this tick is highly recommended to prevent infection. Luckily, only about 1 in 1000 or perhaps in your area, 1 in 500 carry the agent.
