No, they bite and inject saliva, which temporarily reduces your blood's ability to clot (this also causes the itching of a flea bite). Then their mouthparts are used to drink the blood. While the mouthparts may enter the wound slightly, the flea as a whole does not "enter" the host, nor does it leave any parts behind when it stops feeding.

∙ 13y agoDepending on the type of flea, yes they can.
A few other "bugs" that would appear to/or do burrow include: Chigoe flea, Sarcoptes scabiei, Dermatobia hominis and Cochliomyia hominivorax.
Along with the sarcoptes scabiei, there are MANYother mites that will burrow in human skin.

The even bite people, but since people don't have fur for them to hide or burrow in, they don't stay on them.And yes, fleas can live in clothing. Fleas can actually live in a sort of suspended animation for a long time, even outside in the cold winter. Then as soon as they detect body heat, they are able to leap onto the body of the animal that's nearby.
