A member asked:
Not marijuana itself but can some of the pesticides during the growing process cause strep throat by chance or any history or proof of such findings ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Strep throat is only caused by the germ group A streptococcus.You can get throat irritation from many things, but you only get strep by being exposed to this germ.
