  1. If you're a street person and never bathe - sure.


  2. No they can't live on humans but they live in carpets, clothes, beds and furniture. They can bite your ankles or your skin. If you are plagued with fleas wash all your clothes and sheets etc with hot soapy water. Fleas are attracted to light so you can also make a dish filled with soapy water with a light bulb over it. When the fleas jump to the light they will fall in the bowl and drown. Treat your pets and use flea combs on them. Spray your house.

  3. Cat fleas are more likely to feed on humans than dog fleas.  Neither species can reproduce without a cat or dog being present.

  4. They can and do bite humans, but they cannot complete their life-cycle with only human blood.  

  5. Yes I do believe they can. Because they are fleas not dog fleas.  

  6. yes they can go anywhere with fur

  7. Yes. If your dog or even cat has fleas (there will be black dirt on its belly which is actually flea blood poo, if you rub it on ur fingers with some water it turns red) then they will probably be biting you.

    One way I heard you can control it is by spreading some salt on the carpet or the floor. Leave it for around 3 days and vacuum it up. It dehydrates the flea eggs. Also wash your pet, your bedsheets, and clothes. Good luck!

  8. no, they can live on the dog but jump onto carpets, soft furnishings and lay eggs which will then hatch out. they can jump onto you and feed off you but they can also lay dormant for up to 180 days in carpets etc..

  9. They wont live off you like they can animals.  But they can be on you.  A lady I work with carries them into work with her on her clothes sometimes.  ewww.  grossie.  

  10. i dont know but this question makes me want to scratch !

  11. hope not what about tics and mites

  12. Fleas pretty much live in your carpet, grass, dog bedding etc. and get on you or the animal to feed.

  13. Yep

  14. Fleas can live anywhere.

  15. the answer is no because dogs have hair on their hole entire body so there's enuff heat to keep the flees alive. the only thing related to your question is that flees will bite humans.

  16. yea they can bite you cant live on you though

  22. Oh yes they can. Ick.

  23. No, at least not very long.  Humans get a different parasite, like lice for instance.
