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.
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.
