Hiking and the outdoors, sentence 3

Ticks are tiny animals that wait on long grass and bushes and bite to drink blood; some carry Lyme disease, so a boy hiking in Connecticut wears long trousers tucked into his socks and checks his skin, including behind his knees, in his armpits and in his hair, after the walk.

Who acts: Ticks, tiny animals, some, boy · What happens: be, wait, bite, drink, carry, hike · To what, where: tiny animals, long grass, blood, Lyme disease, Connecticut, long trousers
