Human: Why are some people ticklish and some people aren't?

Assistant: There are two types of ticklishness.  Some people are sensitive in very specific areas, and some people are generally sensitive.  For example, some people are very sensitive in their armpits, and some people are very sensitive in their feet.  This type of ticklishness seems to be genetic.  Some people are sensitive overall, and they tend to react to certain touch sensations, like rubbing their feet, or stroking their body.
