3. Insect Casings or Droppings?
A common fear is that these might be insect-related. Fortunately, these do not resemble insect eggs, larvae, or droppings. Most insect eggs are white or translucent and have a soft or irregular shape. These, on the other hand, look too uniform and polished to be organic matter from bugs.
4. Candy or Edible Beads
There are some types of candy or edible decorative beads used in baking that can look very similar to this. However, the chances of these randomly showing up on a bed without food around are slim.
What Should You Do?
- Check nearby supplements or medicine containers. Look for spills or open packages.
- Ask others in your household. Someone may have dropped them unknowingly.
- Don’t consume them. Even if they look like vitamins, never ingest unknown substances.
- Clean your bed thoroughly. If you’re still unsure, washing bedding and vacuuming the area is a safe next step.
