This question is phrased such that it could have two answers.1) Rickets (note spelling, only one "t") is a condition in which the bones form abnormally due to insufficient calcium in the growing bones. This can be due to a lack of calcium itself in the diet, but is most commonly due to a lack of vitamin D, which the body needs to absorb and use calcium normally.2) Rickettsial disease is an infection with certain types of proteobacteria, transmitted by the bite of ticks, fleas, and lice. Some rickettsial diseases found in humans include typhus and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
