If you can see them, they are not spider mites. Spider mites are almost
microscopic and generally only viewable if shaken onto a white piece of
paper.

You may want to dust all the carpet with diatomaceous earth, wear a mask
and
don't inhale it, but it is non-toxic otherwise. You may have a wicked
infestation of dust mites in the bed, aka bedbugs. They too are
microscopic and
live on the flaked off skin of our bodies. One gram of that dead skin we
shed
can feed an army of them for 30 years.

I'm no expert, but I can see spider mites when they infest my plants. I
also believe bedbugs are different than you describe.
Dust mites are too small to be a biting concern.
