Borrelia does weaken the immune system so it's possible, I'd say even probable.

My issue is this, if I get sick, the problem is always with my throat and nowhere else.
If my entire immune system was weaken, would I be facing problems everywhere?

just my two cents...
I was bit by a tick in 2000 actually pulled it off of me...so i know i was bit. I was sick with a sore throat after that....it never went away. No lie it lasted for 3 months and was only on one side. My doctor couldnt figure it out....all labs came back neg...you know the deal. Looking back..ive been sick a lot and mostly with sore throats as well. Tylenol sore throat liquid was what i carried with me everywhere!!!
In may i came down with a terrible sore throat again...after a hiatus from sore throats. I thought is was odd, but never thought it would be the start of what i am going thru right now...but it was.

IF it's strep (this is all speculation) then the entry site is probably oral. Unlike Bb or Staph, Strep has a chain like growth. So for it to become systemic it must first infect your throat and tonsils and then move slowly in a chain like fashion to become systemic.
