Red bug on top of money tree leaves

I have many tiny looking red bugs on the leaves of my money tree. They\’re covering some leaves but sporadic on others. I don\’t see any on the back of leaves and I see no webs as the definition says should be there. What is this big and what home remedy can I use to kill them?? Also, do they bite humans or do they spread??

Sounds like Spider Mites.

Treat the plant with Neem Oil, Neem Oil is organic and safe for people and pets.
