A flea may get on a person, but they do not infest them. Also, hamsters do not usually get fleas. If they do, you will be able to visably see them and pick them off with your fingers. If they are scratching a lot, it is more likely that they have mites.

Any pet with fleas can and usually do pass them on to humans. As fleas are able to jump nearly ten feet, this can happen even at a distance.
