At first I did not know that a tick bite had caused my fever (103 degrees). My wife brought me to the hospital and I was completely delirious. My recollection of what happened and what “she” says really happened are two different stories.
Tick bite last year and got Ehrlichiosis from a lone star tick (similar to Rocky Mountain fever) AMA

What do you remember versus what your wife remembers?
How long was it from from the bite to symptoms?
How close to dying from it did you get?
The next morning apparently I text my wife and wanted to know why I was in the hospital and should I be moved to a bigger hospital? I text her an animal hospital I wanted to be transferred to lol. The Docs still had no answers as to what was going on with me
My wife told our friends I was in the hospital for an unknown sickness and high fever. They were out of State at a funeral for a friend that had died from a tick bite. The friends told my wife to ask the doctors about a tick bite.
