Keeping ticks off of you definitely isn't too difficult. Tick prevention is very basic and isn't too terribly difficult. Often a pair of socks and a lint roller is all you really need. Simply keep the roller with you and roll it on your clothes from time to time. You'll be surprised how many ticks come off of you.
Additionally, a little bit of peppermint or lavender oil sprayed onto your clothing and skin helps deter them. If your skin is sensitive, you'll want to dilute the peppermint oil with a little almond oil as well. It helps reduce the stingy sensation of the peppermint.
Ticks also love getting into your socks. A great way to keep them out is to roll your pantlegs into your socks or simply duct tape your ankles to keep ticks from entering your pants.
