Tick bite last year and got Ehrlichiosis from a lone star tick (similar to Rocky Mountain fever) AMA

r/

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.

    What do you remember versus what your wife remembers?

    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.
