∙ 12y agoI have a pet shop. Today a customer called me to the other side of the counter to look at her dog. The dog had things like thunder flies running through its fur and bigger things resembling fleas. But these fleas weren't jumping. And when I caught one and had "popped" it, it was most certainly a flea. So have we a new strain of flea? Or have I been in the wrong place all these years?

Can fleas jump from dog to people?
Fleas from a dog can jump onto any part of a person that is close enough for the flea to make the jump, so yes they could jump onto your head where they will find a home in your hair.

Can fleas fly?
Fleas can't fly but they have an amazing ability to jump large distances with relative ease. In fact, fleas can jump approximately 4-5 feet upwards! Their secret lies in their strong legs and another very important element. Fleas are equipped with something called Resilin. This protein has very similar properties as rubber and it gives the flea a sort of springboard (once its compressed) that launches it forward (or upwards) when it wants to reach certain places in your home.

Fleas can be trained by putting them in a jar with a lid. After a while you can remove the lid but the fleas won't jump any higher than they did when the lid was there. So they say.
