If your hamster is itching and biting herself as she got mites?

Take it to the vet or or give it constant baths and find a flee collar for it in the pet store. Or you can try setting up a container with chinchilla dust in it in case they feel like taking a 'bath' in it. If that doesn't do anything, then take it to an exotic vet. It could have some kind of bug infestation or other disease.

No you cannot catch mites from a hamster. Mites are not zoophytic, meaning they cannot be transferred from animals to humans.
