I've lived in a tick infested area (Ozark Mountains) for 25 years now and get bit at least a 100 times a year (probably a lot more, but I don't keep count).

The trick to avoiding Lyme disease is to do a "tick check" everyday and get them off of you asap. It helps a lot to treat clothes with permethrin but you'll still get a few bites if you're out where they're thick.

Here's a link to video I made last year about killing ticks in my yard:
