Ticks can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which is widely considered to be one of the most serious tick-borne illnesses in the United States today. Without treatment, the disease becomes fatal. It is primarily transmitted by the American dog tick, and once you're infected, you may notice a red spotted rash, as well as a high fever, a headache, and a lack of appetite. Gulf Coast ticks transmit Rickettsia parkeri, which results in a sore, fever, and muscle pain. Lyme disease is another possibility.
