Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expanding red rash on Andrew's arm suggests that he has contracted Lyme disease, which is commonly spread by tick bites. Therefore, to have avoided this illness, Andrew should have avoided contact with ticks. Camping in the spring or boiling water would not necessarily prevent Lyme disease, and fleas on mice are not known to transmit this illness.
