Ticks are a real problem around in the spring on cattle, horses, and us. We keep some of that 10% permethrin around (about 1/2 ounce to the quart of water) for spraying horses before we head out to the BLM. Worked so well on the horses, a few years back we got to sprayng it on our shoes and pant legs as well. No ticks since. Guess if you are running around in your birthday suit two miles from your rig, not caring who sees you do what, like the couple we saw yesterday bending over rocks looking for snipe, the spray might not help much.
We should point out that we haven't been bitten by a rattlesnake either since we started using it, but we hadn't been bitten prior to that either. It's not advertised as a snake repellent.
So maybe it's all a big coincidence. For the "what it's worth department".

OYE
