Sand fleas are known for their biting behaviour, but it's important to note that they primarily feed on small organisms and detritus found in sandy environments. While they may bite humans if they come into direct contact with our skin, these bites are usually harmless and result in minor irritation or itching. However, it's generally not recommended to intentionally expose yourself to sand fleas, as their bites can still cause discomfort.
