    Extractions: Resources Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne illness caused by a bacteria, resulting in a high fever and a characteristic rash. The bacteria causing RMSF is passed to humans through the bite of an infected tick. The illness begins within about two weeks of such a bite. RMSF is the most widespread tick-borne illness in the United States, occurring in every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The states in the mid-Atlantic region, the Carolinas, and the Virginias have a great deal of tick activity during the spring and summer months, and the largest number of RMSF cases come from those states. About 5% of all ticks carry the causative bacteria. Children under the age of 15 years have the majority of RMSF infections. The bacterial culprit in RMSF is called Rickettsia rickettsii . It causes no illness in the tick carrying it, and can be passed on to the tick's offspring. When a tick attaches to a human, the bacteria is passed. The tick must be attached to the human for about six hours for this passage to occur. Although prompt tick removal will cut down on the chance of contracting RMSF, removal requires great care. If the tick's head and body are squashed during the course of removal, the bacteria can be inadvertently rubbed into the tiny bite wound. Symptoms of RMSF begin within two weeks of the bite of the infected tick. Symptoms usually begin suddenly, with high fever, chills

Onset of infection is abrupt after a three to 12-day incubation period (average seven days from the tick bite). Fever reaches 103 to 104 F (40 C) within two days. There is considerable headache, chills, and muscle pain at the onset. In four days a rash appears on wrists, ankles, soles, palms, and then spreads to the trunk.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever During the last several decades, between 500 and 1,200 cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) were reported annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The two most endemic regions in the United States are the Southeast and the West South Central regions. The highest incidence rates have been reported from Georgia, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia. RMSF is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii , a bacteria, and is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. It usually takes a several hours of attachment before the rickettsiae become reactivated and are able to infect humans. In the eastern and southern United States, the common vector is the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis.
