Deer ticks are widespread in wooded and brushy areas around Huntsville, particularly in regions like Monte Sano State Park and the Land Trust trails. These tiny ticks can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and other serious illnesses. Active from early spring through late fall, they’re often picked up during hikes, yardwork, or time spent in shaded, leaf-littered areas.
Lone Star ticks are increasingly common across North Alabama. Females are easy to recognize by a single white dot on their backs. These ticks favor humid, wooded environments and are commonly found near lakes, creek beds, and deer trails. They are aggressive biters and are known to transmit ehrlichiosis and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI). Caution is advised in nature-heavy areas like Ditto Landing and Green Mountain.
These larger ticks are reddish-brown with white or silver markings and are frequently found in open grassy areas especially around fields, parks, and roadsides in Madison County. While they don’t transmit Lyme disease, they can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. They’re active through spring and summer and can latch onto pets or humans during outdoor recreation.
