she died 2 weeks after being bitten by a tick , she was only 6


This past summer (2013) little six year old Emilee Russell was on vacation with her family in Texas. It was here she was bitten by a tick. Within days she wastaken to multiple hospitals. Doctors did not know what was wrong with her nor know what to do. She was put on a ventilator but died. It is suspected it was Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever , a common infection found it ticks . Perhaps however it was due to multiple co-infections. Ticks often carry more then one bacteria, and they also carry parasites. It may be very rare to find a tick with only one bacteria these days. I suspect this little girl may have been fighting a war against multiple bacteria that entered her body via that one tick bite. So very very tragic so horrible. She the twin of her brother Charlie. Daughter to Beth and Charlie Sr. Her dad the local fire chief.
