Ok, I have Googled the crap out of this but are wood mites harmful to my T's?

I have some cholla wood that I baked for like 6 hours at 250 degrees ( I actually forgot about it) that I have been using in my L. vio and P. pulcher set ups. They love it.

But I found mites tonight.

The wood has been removed and these two are in temporary housing. Are they in any danger? There are no mites on the T's.

Let me tell you, rehoming a PO's sub adult male L. vio was NOT on the top of my list of things to do tonight.

These are little shiny white guys. Fairly certain they are wood mites. There were none on the T's, just a few in one spot near the wood in each of the cages. From my google search it shoul be fine, but I am an anxious T Mama.
