Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Ticks are the external parasites which survive by feeding the blood of the birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Various species of the ticks are distributed world wide. They colonize and live in the countries with warm and humid climatic conditions. The moisture help them to undergo metamorphosis. There are many species in the families of lxodidae (hard ticks) and Argasidae (soft ticks) that are active parasites and are capable of causing diseases in humans.
