My friend and I were enjoying dinner at a trendy spot when she suddenly spotted tiny black specks on our salad š²š². At first, we thought, “Oh, maybe chia seeds?” But then those little specks started moving š±! Shocked, I immediately called over the waiter š². Once we realized what we were dealing with, we didnāt hesitate ā we rushed straight to the hospital š±.
Iām sharing this as a serious warning ā please be careful and always watch what youāre eating š£š„.
We just wanted a peaceful dinner ā nothing fancy, just a cozy little restaurant in the heart of the city, with fragrant dishes and soft music setting the mood. But that calm evening quickly spiraled into a nightmare.
My friend ordered a salad with avocado and quinoa. Everything looked perfect, until suddenly she froze, her fork hovering halfway to her mouth.
āDo you see that?ā she whispered, pointing at something on the plate. Tiny black specks dotted the surface of the salad ā at first, they looked like chia seeds. For a moment, we even thought, Maybe itās just some spices or a trendy garnish. But as I looked closer, I saw the tension growing on her face.

āThese arenāt seeds⦠Look, theyāre⦠moving!ā We leaned in closer, and our blood ran cold. Those tiny black specks werenāt seeds at all ā they were wriggling, almost transparent spheres with dark dots inside. Insect eggs. Right there, in our food.
Shock hit first, then came the screams. Waiters hurried over, trying to explain, but we were already dialing for an ambulance. We had no idea what kind of creature had laid those eggs ā or if we had accidentally eaten any. My friend began to panic, torn between fear and nausea.
At the hospital, they examined us thoroughly, ran tests, and prescribed medication ājust in case.ā We were told to watch for any symptoms.
As for the restaurant? We filed a complaint immediately. Their excuses ā a ātechnical errorā or āspoiled ingredients from a supplierā ā meant nothing. After an experience like that, trust was shattered forever.
Now, every time I see chia seeds, that terrifying night flashes back ā a reminder that even the simplest meal can turn into a nightmare.
