Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis are both tick-borne diseases that are more commonly contracted in rural areas, particularly in wooded or grassy environments. Camping and hiking in the backcountry increases the likelihood of coming into contact with ticks and therefore increases the risk of contracting these diseases. European countries, snow skiing, and metropolitan cities do not have a higher risk of these tick-borne diseases.
