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.
It tends to feed on livestock, which carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The American dog tick spreads Rocky Mountain fever in the Midwest and feeds off of dogs, cattle, deer, raccoons, and opossum. The wood tick, found in the West, is the culprit that caused the Washington state boyâs tick paralysis.
