yes. there is a possibility of getting a disease from almost any animal. This is why it's a good idea to wash your hands and to aviod touching your eyes or mouth after handling most animals. A disease that can be possily transmitted from a bearded dragon to a human is salminala. No this does not mean all beardies have salminala. But it could be a possibility if the animal is exposed to it (saminala is easily transmitted to reptiles including snakes, lizards, and turtles). So if your Beardie does happen to have it all you need to do is wash your hands after handling, which should be done regardless.
