Yes. Ticks carry diseases such as FSME (a type of encepholitis) and more common, lyme disease. While there is a vaccination against FSME, a vaccination for lyme disease has not yet been developed. However, lyme disease can be treated by antibiotics. It's fairly important, however, to recognize the signs early on. If a round red rash at the site of the tick bite develops you should go to the doctor. He will test your blood for borelliose and prescribe antibotics.
