Not if they are properly designed and properly applied. And not all
antennas can be choked -- in general, only resonant antennas can be
effectively choked. Chokes applied to non-resonant and/or poorly
balanced antennas (like OCF wires) are, in general, NOT effective, and
WILL likely overheat.
I suggest a study of
