Country Ham Mite?

Good day everyone, Long time reader, first time poster. I have successfully cured country hams and bacon for a couple seasons with great results, but I have an issue with one of my hams I let age for about 9 months now. I was about to have it sliced and took it out of it's sock and brown bag to find what appears to be mites on a portion of it. 

I have read that this type of infestation can simply be cleaned off the the meat is fine, but I would like to hear from someone else who has experienced this. 

Thanks!
