A 2007 entomology note records lone star ticks in several Montgomery County parks from sampling done in 2002, and Rock Creek Regional Park is among them. Whether the park sits inside Derwood's boundary was not checked for this page, so treat it as nearby county parkland rather than part of the community.
State health advice singles out the blacklegged, lone star and American dog ticks as the ones most likely to bite people. The state advice is a daily tick check after outdoor time and an EPA-registered repellent. The 2007 note also says lone star ticks are not involved in Lyme transmission, which is worth knowing when a bite is found.

The county's Lyme page says the blacklegged, or deer, tick spreads Lyme disease. The 2007 entomology note says lone star ticks are not involved in Lyme transmission. Any tick bite should be watched, and a doctor should be told if a rash or fever follows.
A technician treats the lot you own, along with the edges and the shaded areas where ticks rest. For the parkland itself, ask (855) 974-4733 what can be done on your side of the fence.
Look at the legs, waistband, scalp and behind the ears, and check pets too. Remove any tick promptly with fine tweezers, and keep the bite area clean.
