Ticks in June Park, FL

Lone-star larval 'seed ticks' are swarming, often dropping dozens of bites in one pass through brush. This is the stretch locals most associate with tick misery: seed-tick swarms in tall grass and brush piles. Gulf Coast ticks share this same late-summer pattern. Adult and nymphal lone-star ticks stay active alongside them.

June Park is 83% natural land cover (65% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 3.02 sq mi, home to about 4,283 people. That makes it the 6th-most wooded of the 29 towns in Brevard County. Lone-star and Gulf Coast ticks favor brushy edges, overgrown fields, and open pine woods as much as deep forest: the more of that a town has, the more places ticks can quest.

Brevard County reports about 1 Lyme cases per 100,000 people a year, in the top 22% of U.S. counties for reported Lyme disease. Lyme is a smaller factor here than in the Northeast, but lone-star tick bites (alpha-gal syndrome, ehrlichiosis) drive most local risk, and that combined pressure sets how high June Park's daily score can climb when the weather and season allow.
