I have a friend that started having symptoms about 4 days ago. First he had weakness, and he was cold, and He started getting nauseous. The next day he had a fever of 103.1 (that was the highest it ever got to) . He threw up twice, and he said he had abdominal pain from heaving. He went to the doctor and they didnt know what it was. They told him to go to the hospital if it kept on. He started feeling better the next day (his fever broke and he felt fine). Then later that day his fever went back up a little bit and he felt worse. He threw up again. Today, he noticed a rash (red bumps) on his back and chest. The doctors suspect Rocky Mountain spotted fever
