A Flea tried to kill me

Year Condition Began: 2017


In mid June 2017 I came down with what I thought was the flu. A week later my husband has me in the Dr with a fever over 105 for the last few days and a bp of 99/49. I woke up July 3 in a hospital in San Antonio apparently I had ARDS brought on by pneumonia brought on by murine typhus from fleas from the exotic game ranch behind our home. They had me ventilated the entire time and on a rotoprone bed for 8 days. I have suffered brain and lung damage
