What kind of tiny microscopic black/red bug/parasite, etc lives in Mexico?
A friend of mine went to Mexico about 3 months ago. He unknowingly came back with some kind of bug, a very tiny, need a magnifying glass to see kind of bug. He finally found one today and said it is black and red. He has had pest control out a couple of times to treat but is still getting bit and feels the bugs crawling on him. The pest control guy said it was not bed bugs. Any idea what this mystery bug/parasite could be? He's at his whits end trying to get rid of these.

There are probably the dreaded red mites (acaro rojo) of southeastern Mexico, since you mentioned he was vacationing in Cozumel. He should consult a farmacia (sulfur skin lotion) or clinic/doctor for local treatment
in case his health might get worse.

He needs to see a Doctor trained in tropical diseases and parasites. I would do this as soon as possible. Pest control has nothing to do with medicine. If this bug (for example) gets inhaled into his lungs, this could be extremely difficult to deal with.
