Symptoms of Scrub Typhus
Symptoms of scrub typhus begin suddenly, about 6 to 21 days after the bacteria enter the body. They include fever, chills, a headache, and swollen lymph nodes. A black scab may develop at the site of the chigger bite. People may have a cough during the first week of fever. A rash appears about 5 to 8 days after the fever starts.
