Human Flea

Found globally in homes and farms, particularly in areas where hosts like humans or livestock sleep and reside.

Obligate hematophages; they feed on the blood of humans, pigs, goats, and other mammals.

Wingless, laterally flattened insects that jump long distances to reach hosts; they undergo complete metamorphosis from egg to larva, pupa, and adult.

Risks include painful bites, dermatitis, and potential transmission of pathogens such as Yersinia pestis (plague) or Rickettsia felis.
