C
Feedback:
To avoid Lyme disease, the person should use tweezers to remove a tick by grasping the head and pulling it straight out without crushing the body. Light-colored clothes should be worn in order to see ticks, and sneakers and socks should be worn instead of sandals. Spray repellants should be used outside.
