I was just reading about people that got Q-fever Rickettsia from inhalation, when they were around infected animals.
Also, it is mandatory , in some places, that it be reported, if someone, or animals are infected.
I am going to try to copy and paste the article.
Maybe you all knew this already, but in the fight to get help with diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, and these co-infections, I just thought I would mention it.
Again, I found this article easily because it was vetrinarian in nature, and not public health in nature which has been our frustration.
