What's active right now

Lone-star ticks are at their summer peak, the main local driver of alpha-gal syndrome and ehrlichiosis. Midsummer is when lone-star bite counts run highest region-wide. Gulf Coast tick adults are active in the same brushy, grassy habitat. American dog ticks are also out in open, grassy areas. Deer ticks remain a minor factor here compared with the Northeast.

Local tick habitat

Johns Creek is 75% natural land cover (61% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 30.81 sq mi, home to about 81,108 people. That makes it the 10th-most wooded of the 15 towns in Fulton 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.

Fulton County reports about 1 Lyme cases per 100,000 people a year, the 186th-highest of 1378 South counties. 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 Johns Creek's daily score can climb when the weather and season allow.
