Feedback:
Lyme disease is an infection caused by a tick bite. To prevent the occurrence of tick bites while camping, the nurse should instruct the children to wear long pants tucked into the socks while walking in the woods. The risk of rabies is great if approaching strange animals. Poison ivy or poison oak can be contracted from touching unidentified bush. Water-based illnesses can be contracted from drinking contaminated water.
