Is it normal that i think i have fleas?

So I used to have lice about 5 years ago and it was resolved easily.. But now I've been very itchy in my head again but I just thought that it was normal head itches. But just about 3 months ago, I was scratching my head and a small really black bug came out? Call me disgusting, yeah I know so what.. I thought maybe I had lice again but I was confused because it was the size of lice but the color was black. I'm so confused and I think really the only answer is that I have fleas? I have one dog but I'm not with her often.. is it possible for humans to have fleas? Is it normal?

    If you see one or two fleas on your body it's pretty normal. If you starting to see dozens that might be a bit abnormal.

    fuk yeah! it's totally normal ! Humans get fleas off their pets all the time, also you don't need to be with your pet to get the little buggers, fleas live in soil apparently, in carpets, rugs (any where your pet lives/sleeps or rests) there is bound to be fleas. So when you plant your ass down where your pet has been sitting, next thing your itchy with little black fleas.

        People get fleas from animals. However on people it is much easier to see since we have no hair. Lice is suppose to be oranges brown I believe. You can get fleas more than once. I would ask the doc to check your head and tell you if you do have them or not. Get your animals flea collars.

        hmm good question, well you would have to buy a flea bomb and bomb your house then go out for a few hours while it's setting off gas to kill the little buggers, that usually works. We have tried it, though your pet/s will still have them so you would additionally have to buy a flea collar or something from the pet store or local vet.
