Extractions: Home Medical Reference Outdoor Health / Safety Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettii, a tick-borne parasite. The disease is most commonly noted in late spring and early summer, when people are more likely to be outside and become hosts for the dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) or western wood tick (D. andersoni). Other ticks can also carry the parasite. Most infections are reported in the southeastern states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, and Georgia. If you suspect that someone is suffering from Rocky Mountain spotted fever, seek a physician's help immediately. Tetracycline (adult dose, 500 milligrams four times a day; pediatric dose, 10 milligrams per kilogram four times a day) or doxycycline (adult dose only, 100 milligrams twice a day) should be given for six days, or continued until the victim is without fever for three days. Although it is generally not recommended that you administer tetracycline to a pregnant woman or to a child less than six years of age, because of the risk of tooth discoloration or abnormal bone development (the latter in a fetus during pregnancy), in a case of suspected Rocky Mountain spotted fever when a physician is not available to administer an alternative antibiotic, tetracycline should be given.

The majority of cases in the U.S. occur in the southeastern states. In spite of its name, the disease is not common in the mountain states. Children and young adults are most frequently affected. Disease incidence is directly related to exposure to tick infested habitats. How is RMSF spread? RMSF is spread by the bite of an infected tick (the American dog tick, the lone-star tick or the wood tick) or by contamination of the skin with the tick's body fluids or feces. Person to person and direct animal to human transmission of RMSF does not occur.
