How to Avoid Ticks: If you want to do something to keep ticks off you then knowing where the sun is can help. Ticks that are in the nymph stages are not equipped to be without some level of moisture. They can actually live as long as the moisture in the air or humidity is high enough and avoid the sunlight. That is why the sun is your best friend when you are out in nature. It is a great idea to avoid the shady spots of your hike and do your best to stay in the sunlight.
