Default Bugs on Musa Basjoo?

Hi,
My first time posting in this forum - I hope I'm in the right place, bear with me please...
A few weeks ago I moved my potted Musa Basjoo indoors and yesterday I noticed countless tiny black insects spread all over the underside of the leaves. They seem to be crawling out of the main stem and look like bugs (less than 1mm in size). I tried to vacuum them off the leaves but they cling on like glue. Does anyone here have an idea of what they could be, how to get rid of them, and whether they "spread" to humans or pets?

Needless to say that from the moment I noticed them I feel itchy all over my body and I'm in complete panic mode. I tried googling for answers but if I see one more photo of "popular" insect pests I'm going to vomit.

Please help? Thank you!
Lolo
