Can Lyme Disease Be Contracted Through A Tick Bite?
Was in a tick infested area three days ago - woods Massacusetts. We turned back from our walk because of the ticks and even found some on me later. Now have sore throat, loosing voice, and low fever. Should I be concerned? This is a Lyme disease region.

dear
there is possibility though,for the infection were the ticks black legged? because the black legged ticks are the main Carrier's of the Lyme disease.
but do not worry as the symptoms are not clear by now,moreover we don't have the typical rash(bulls eye rash).
calm down ,wait and watch for any further progress of symptoms.
hope this helps
