It's the usual advice when you're living in places where you don't meet (if ever) ticks. I rarely get tick bites where I live (once or twice a year), but in 2005 during our summer vacation we had to remove 10 to 20 ticks from every member of the family, every day, for two weeks. In these areas when you ask the pharmacy what to do, they just tell you to use a special tick remover and disinfectant... people there can't live getting antibiotics all year round. Apparently, woodlands where there are lots of deer and/or sheep grazing around are infested with ticks. There's nothing much you can do.
