Yes. Just as ticks carry diseases that can transfer to dogs and make them sick, so they carry Lyme's disease which can make people ill. The tick usually needs to be attached for at least 12 -24 hours before transmission of disease occurs, so prompt removal as soon as the tick is spotted should protect the child, but also advise their physician of what's happened.
