Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is an acute infectious disease spread by ticks. It can cause fever, rash, headaches, and abdominal pain. If left untreated, it can be fatal. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics are essential for a successful outcome. RMSF is typically found in the United States, though cases have occurred in other parts of the world. RMSF is a serious public health concern, as it can cause severe illness and death. Vaccines are not available and preventive measures, such as avoiding tick-infested areas and using insect repellent, should be taken to reduce risk of acquiring the disease.
