as far as i know misquotes are the only way to get it. the reason is in the make up of the bug its self when a mosquito bites you a small amount of whats allready in it leaks out just before is actually starts feeding and during. If you have a lot of flea bites you dont have much to worry about but if its ticks then you can be exposed to lime disease which in infants and elderly ppl can harm or even kill.
