Yes, this happens all the time. Fleas typically prefer to live on other mammals like dogs and cats because they can hide in the fur coat easier. However, if a human is the only meal they can find, fleas will happily feed on humans with no problem.
A flea would much prefer to live off of the blood of cats, dogs, or other animals, than they would that of a human. It is extremely unlikely for a human to be infested with fleas, but singular flea-bites are not uncommon.
