Cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever are rare in Wisconsin, but the tick-borne disease has apparently killed a La Crosse woman. The victim was bitten by a tick while she was camping last May. She was diagnosed in mid-June and died a few days later. Her name hasn’t been released, but health officials say she was in her late-50s. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is typically found in the central and southeastern U-S.
