While humans will sometimes attract fleas themselves, it is more likely that any bites have come from fleas that have themselves come from animals. Cats and dogs are popular pets worldwide and they are prone to getting fleas. As animals that are generally very hairy, cats and dogs have plenty of places for fleas to hide in, meaning it is not easy to spot them.
Excessive scratching is a good sign that your pet might have fleas, and it is worth having a further look. Comb through your pets hair with a fine comb and you are likely to notice fleas if they have them.
