Wear rubber boots, like they say. The key is to not let any other part of your body or clothing to touch anything. Go out of your way to not let weeds, brush, etc.., touch your hand or pants leg. When I'm nearing my hunting area I probably look like some crazed, drunk creature walking through the woods because I walk around, step over, slide through, and avoid in any way I can anything that might come in contact with any part of me except my rubber boots.
