Wednesday before last I made a visit whilst wearing shorts and when I returned home I found I had aquired 15 ticks

I have been to the GP for advice as I was concerned about Lymes disease. My GP said it was very uncommon but was quite shocked that I had managed to get so many in such a short time.
I do not know if this site has a particularly high population of ticks or if I am just unlucky. The site does have high numbers of Deer but I am not sure if that is relevant. My GP also sugested that the weather may be a factor?
Can anybody give any advice on how to avoid getting ticks other than avoiding the site completely
