Could The Numbness At The Back Be A Symptom Of Lyme's Disease?

On Sunday I was bitten on the back by a horse or deer fly. On Monday night my body started feeling numb. I haven't lost any muscle strength, it just feels numb. Yesterday my throat felt kind of tight, but since has gotten better but the numbness is still there. Would this be lyme disease or just an allergic reaction to the bite?

Dear patient, this is most likely some kind of allergic reaction to the bite, not typical fpr lymes disease. Should get better by itself, best regards
