The infection went straight to his brain and went septic in just three days. All this came from a bleeder he gave his hog which wouldn't stop bleeding. What really makes me angry is that the there was already ready evidence of Ehrlichiosis in the woods and still they came to the hog hunt. Make sure you know the character of the people you hunt hogs with because it can cause you a good animal or worse ruin your yard.

I thought this deserved it's own thread here in this section. From my understanding of this disease it is rare but becoming increasingly more prevalent.
