Rachel was on her way to volunteer at the animal shelter.  She was very excited!  She really liked dogs.  Her brother was allergic to dogs, however, so she was rarely around them.  Rachel had a lot of fun playing with the puppies.  But after her shift, itchy bumps appeared on her arms. It is likely that:

• she was bit by a mosquito.

• she is allergic to dogs too.

• she fell into some poison ivy.

• she developed a skin condition.
