The part of this that is most concerning to me is the possibility that human disease will be transmitted by this tick.

Patients and clinicians should know to send stool culture on anyone with bloody diarrhea (a sign of possible E coli infection), and not to reflexively treat with antibiotics, because it can increase the risk of having kidney damage.
