Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Fla. - A University of North Carolina swimmer from Florida has died after being bitten by a tick that gave her Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Andrea Erben, 19, of Panama City, died from the disease Tuesday at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital, said her father, Steve Erben.

"She didn't know she had it," he said Wednesday. "Initially, she was diagnosed with the flu at Chapel Hill (N.C.)."

RMSF or SARS?

Andrea Erben got sick around May 6. I think that makes it too early for her to have caught SARS from the guy who went to Toronto.
