Bites, stings and scratches: mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, dog bites and cat scratches, sentence 11

A tick bite usually does not hurt, so ticks are often found later; a grown-up should take one out close to the skin with a tick tool, and a spreading red ring days later means a doctor should check it.

Who acts: tick bite, grown up, spreading red ring, doctor · What happens: not hurt, find, grow, take, spread, mean · To what, where: ticks, one, up · Speech: someone speaks here
