My neighbor told me this afternoon that her partner was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. She said he got a COVID test when he developed a fever and began vomiting. He tested negative for COVID, but then the rash emerged.
He's an outdoorsy type, likes to hunt, but neighbor said that aside from walking in a woodlot another neighbor owns, he hadn't been out of their yard except to go to work.
Wisconsin is pretty far north for RMSF, according to the online sources I've consulted. The news got my attention because I pulled a feeding tick off my arm a week ago and found another one crawling on me a couple days later. Take care, outdoors-loving folks!
