Another episode has hit the household. I have came down with "rocky mountain spotted fever". I am assuming that I was bitten by the tick when I was away in Florida on vacation 2 months ago. Disney offers a trek through their animal kingdom, which I went on and i did get extremely ill with flu like symptoms two days after. I didnt think anything of it, but my body has been achy and went for blood work. However, it could be possible that I caught it at home in the city. I do treat my animals with flea medication because of the strays and wild turkeys that are around. But should I get my animals tested, could I even get them tested? And as crazy as this sounds, my ferrets do have a nipping issue. Can they catch it if they break skin? [Posted in FML 7462]
