I first thought I had a touch of food poison or maybe coming down with the flu. Then I started getting weaker, had a hard time just taking the puppy outside. By the end of the week I had chest pains, my whole body ached, I was so weak my husband had to help me shower. I thought I had the flu was the reason I didn't go to the ER sooner. My tick bite happened in mid-May and my symptoms didn't start until mid June. Must Read Articles Related to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
