Rabbit Fever was something that was seen decades ago, with only about 125 cases a year except in 1940 there were 2200. But already this year there has been a whooping 235 cases this year, more than in any other year since 1984. Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming have had over 100 cases, with a man actually dying. Rabbit Fever or tularemia, is when ticks and deer flies prey on the bacteria from other small animals and then when humans are bit or handling dead animals, then bacteria spreads. The symptoms range from head aches, to fevers and can be treated with antibiotics.
