A good way to keep ticks off of you is to wear a string of garlic around your neck. For extra protection you should carry a crucifix and a vial of holy water. The nest can always be found by looking for a group of tightly clustered little coffins. Once you have identified it, pounding a wooden stake through each of their (tiny) hearts will kill them as will dragging them out into the sunlight. Hope this helps and be safe!
