See doctor: If you live in the Rocky Mountain or Southeastern part of the US, I would include Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever as part of the diagnosis. Were you bitten by a tick? Do you have symptoms such as headaches, fever, chills etc? If you do, go to see your doctor ASAP for treatment. If you feel good otherwise, you may adopt a wait-and-see stance.
