My mom nearly died from that last year. None of us had ever heard of it. Really awful.

Fun… symptoms of anaplasmosis are almost identical to rocky mountain fever, but the antibiotic regimen for the two tick-borne bacteria differs. And anaplasmosis has been found globally on different tick species.

It's only going to get worse with these record hot summers. Glad we killed the carbon levy and everything else with C-5.
