Answer 6

Goodness, yes! They are believed to have been one of the transmitters of the Bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis).

"Fleas have parasitic habits in the adult stage only. They are able to move rapidly among hairs or feathers of their hosts with their wingless adult laterally compressed bodies and strong, spiny legs. If a human is bit there will be an immediate area of inflammation. The human flea is called Pulex irritas as it can live in clothing instead of fur. Rat, cat and dog fleas will carry disease from the host to humans. In the Tropics there is a flea called the chigoe that will bury themselves in the skin, especially feet and cause an ulcer like crater. There are species of fleas that carry the bubonic plague and murine typhus to humans living in warm climates. Bubonic plague is the most serious disease that the flea has causes."
