How did people in ancient rome and greece deal with ticks and the illnesses they carry?

Seeing as long-legged trousers weren't as widespread in those societies, especially in ancient greece, wouldn't ticks and tick-borne diseases (like lyme disease) have been problems for both farmers and soldiers in the field?
