A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You get strep throat from exposure to the germ in saliva or contaminants on your fingers.Kiss someone, share a drink, touch a door handle they contaminated and you have your strep.The tic bite can transmit a variety of germs into your blood ot tissue, but it won't give you strep throat.
