What Are These Tiny Bugs?

What is this tiny bug? I can't include a picture because they are too small to see through camera. They are tan in color and have two long antennae. Their legs are not visible. They almost look like eraser shavings walking around. Whenever I try to squish one, it jumps somewhere else. Or maybe it doesn't jump and it's because it has a hard shell so that it is almost flicked somewhere else in a way.

I've never seen them before. Today though I've seen 3. One on my keyboard and two on my desk. There is a lot of dust in my room which may be why. Today was hotter than normal days (100 F) and quite humid. Maybe the temperature is why they're here. Just asking if anyone has experience with these bugs, know what they are, and if they are bad/can harm me. Thank you!

I know they can not harm you, but they can bite you. They are like a flea and are a no see-em or even a sand flea that jumps around. They do bite and the bite is horrible and leaves a large red mark on the skin because they nip the skin and when this happens it swells up and gets water where the bug has bitten you.

They are horrible to kill and we have them here on the islands. We do spray for them but they seem to never die and come back all the time. During our warmer months of the year, they are worse than the other times of the year here.
