What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne disease caused by a rickettsia (a microbe that differs somewhat from bacteria and virus). Fewer than 50 cases are reported annually in New York State.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) was first described in the late 1800s in Idaho. The disease was initially recognized as existing in only the Rocky Mountain (western) area of the United States. However, beginning in the 1930s, the disease was noted in other regions of the country.
