Are some perople more suceptable to tick bites than others?

Yes and no: Under the right conditions, anyone can get ticks. People in the outdoors where ticks live or who have pets that might carry ticks on their fur are more likely to get bitten. The use of insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and tucking legs of pants into socks can all reduce the chance of getting a tick. Always bathe and search your body for ticks after potential exposure.
