Is Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever rare?!
Question:
Is Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever rare?
I just found a tick on my toddler son and it had already attached itself to him. I'm really freaking out. How common are these diseases?
Answers:
You can just about get them from any tick. My mom has gotten lyme disease from 2 deer ticks, and she works cleaning houses back in wooden areas. SO they are common, but with Rocky Mountian, you do have rare cases of it. Just look for a red circle on your son's skin, and also look for signs of his moods, and energy level changing. Take him to the doctor right away when you see these signs! Hope this helps!
