    To me, this sounds like, either a case of aphids, or whiteflies. In either case, You can use rosemary oil, garlic oil, a mixture of Black pepper and water, neem oil, or a small amount of dish soap in water.

    You may spray with Neem oil, as this will make them undesirable to insects. It isn't harmful to you, but you will want to wash them off really well, as it will taste horrible if not.
