Imagine this: you walk into your bedroom, ready to relax, only to find strange reddish-brown objects on your bed. You pick them up—small, capsule-shaped, glossy, and unfamiliar. Instantly, concern sets in. Are they insect eggs? Strange seeds? Medication? Or something more serious?
This is exactly what happened in the photo above. Three mysterious reddish-brown objects were discovered resting on a person’s palm after being found on a bed. Let’s explore some possible explanations for what these items might be.
Possible Identifications:
1. Gel Capsules (Supplements or Medicine)
The shape and color resemble common softgel capsules, like fish oil, vitamin E, or krill oil supplements. These are often dropped by accident and can roll into bedding unnoticed. If you or someone else in your household takes supplements, check if the capsules match.
2. Seeds
While less likely, some seeds—especially from fruits like pomegranate or dates—can appear smooth and dark. However, seeds usually have a more fibrous or matte texture compared to the shiny gel-like surface seen here.
