I've been in places where I've gotten upwards of 30 ticks on me a day.
Part of the job.
Blouse your pants in your boots.
Spray a DEET based insect repellant on your boots up to your knees.
Tick checks every night when you get home. On you and your clothing.
If you have one dug in you pull it out by the head. I use a tick fork. Never touch them with a match or put anything on them such as petroleum products or insecticides to get them to release. This causes them to spew their juices and whatever diseases they have back into you.
