Not really because your tonsels wont get infected.
Basically strep throat is transmitted by contact with the bodily fluids (mucus, wounds) of a person infected.
Strep throat is most common in school-age children. People who smoke, who are fatigued, run down, or who live in damp, crowded conditions are also more likely to become infected. Strep throat occurs most frequently from November to April. The disease passes directly from person to person by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Very occasionally the disease is passed through food, when a food handler infected with strep throat accidentally contaminates food by coughing or sneezing. Statistically, if someone in the household is infected, one out of every four other household members may get strep throat within two to seven days.
On average, about 5,623,780 people die from strep throat a year. This is about 0.0827743619% of the world population.
About 50,000 people die every year in India due to rheumatic heart disease, which is direct sequel of strep throat.
These illnesses are spread by contact with infected mucus.
You could cut your tonsils off because when you get strep throat, your tonsil areas are infected.Therefore if you don't have tonsils,the area can't be infected.
