Likely to spread too, causing boils (10)
I believe the answer is:
contagious
'likely to spread' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'too causing boils' is the wordplay.
'boils' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'boiling' mean this).
'too'+'causing'='toocausing'
'toocausing' anagrammed gives 'CONTAGIOUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for contagious that I've seen is " Catching".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
