I recently found these bugs in my bathroom along the baseboard, all dead. I have even seen one or two crawling inside my bathroom sink and even more in and around my tub. They are very tiny, moves slow. You can't see them on the dark floor but they stand out against the sink and tub. I took a swiffer and ran it along the wall and it was tons of them dead. Please help.

Tiny bugs are difficult to identify.
There are a lot of different bugs that are attracted to moisture and bathrooms and kitchens are the usual place to find them.
I'm not sure but your bugs could be psciod mites or springtails or any number of other bugs.
The main thing to do is to try and find any places in your bathroom that has moisture such as the pipes under the sink and windowsills.
You can send your pictures and comments to your local Agriculture agency as they can probably identify your bug.

I would not be as worried what they are as I would getting rid of them. I would spray an insecticide around the baseboard and pour bleach down the drains.
It is a little itty bitty bug.
It looks like a stink bug to me. If you use young living peppermint oil or Diatomaceous Earth sold at walmart kills wide variety of bugs safe if you have pets and/or kids.
They look like little Flour Weevils, the are harmless to humans. Regular insecticide will take care of them.
