New deadly flea tick virus

A farmer died after being in a hospital for 10 days over a flea tick bite.  10 days and multiple organs failure is all it took.  This is the very first incident in the western hemisphere according to the weather channel.  The disease is named after the location, Bourbon County Kansas, thus the name Bourbon Virus.

Lyme disease is another disease you can get from a tick bite.  Antibiotics is use as treatment for lyme disease.  But the Bourbon Virus resist antibiotics!

So dog owners, beware.
