Ticks in Warren City, TX

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.

Warren City is 97% natural land cover (59% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 1.75 sq mi, home to about 321 people. That makes it the 1st-most wooded of the 9 towns in Gregg 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.

Gregg County's CDC Lyme rate is negligible, unsurprising this far south, so deer ticks are a minor factor in Warren City. The lone star tick is what actually drives local risk here: it is established region-wide, bites aggressively at every life stage, and is the tick most responsible for alpha-gal syndrome, ehrlichiosis, and STARI in Texas.
