Yes, this happens all the time. Fleas typically prefer to live on other mammals like dogs and cats because they can hide in the fur coat easier. However, if a human is the only meal they can find, fleas will happily feed on humans with no problem.
A flea would much prefer to live off of the blood of cats, dogs, or other animals, than they would that of a human. It is extremely unlikely for a human to be infested with fleas, but singular flea-bites are not uncommon.

How did the black death spread from human to human?
There were several reason that this disease was spread from person to person. People at this time had no idea that bacteria even existed. The cites were so very dirty. People would throw their "slops" into the street (feces and urine), there were no sewer systems. This disease was really due to the bite of fleas. The fleas were carried by rats from place to place. The saliva of the fleas had the bacteria. At times the bacteria got into the lungs of the person and this produced something called pneumonic plague. A cough would spread this even faster and further.

The black death spread from human to human mainly in seliva. When somebody who had the plague kissed a preist for instance, the priest would have the plague. In those times, kissing each other on the lips was a sign of gratitude and friendship and love. It was common to kiss each other which didnt make the plague easy to contain instead of spreading it by kissing their loved ones before they died.
