Can humans transfer fleas?

When human beings are in areas infested by fleas, they can transfer them to other places since the fleas may easily jump onto their clothing or hair. Fleas mostly feed on blood from domestic animals, such as dogs, cats, goats and sheep, but may also bite human beings when in contact.

Fleas are very tiny in size which is why they may be difficult to notice when hiding on human clothing or hair. To ensure fleas do not become a menace in the home, it is important to maintain high standards of hygiene within the house and compound. Regular cleaning of pets and occasional use of pest control services may also be prudent.
