Shocked, "no" but, hard to detect unless you live there or, know the person was there and got bite by a tick. You have to have something to go on.
The tick that causes Rocky Mountain also can transfer many different diseases and parasites that may infect the body. It can be tricky without first hand knowledge.
No......Found in North, Central and South Of USA...Early detection is by symptoms only...as soon as Rocky mountain spotted fever is suspected treatment should be commenced....Symptoms like fever and spots even a few should alert the patient and the doctor.
