This article is a very well-written account of the experience of two kids who nearly died of undiagnosed Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. And about the author's new book, "Bitten".

https://www.lymedisease.org/rmsf-taught-me-about-lyme/

"Without treatment, death can occur within eight days of symptom onset.
The rash that gives it its name — the spotted fever — is absent in up to 60 percent of cases in the early stages, which means doctors looking for it will often miss it entirely.

My brother and I had spots. We were lucky in that particular way, even as we were running out of time in every other."
