We Ordered a Salad — Then Saw Tiny Black Specks Moving. We Went Straight to the Hospital
What was supposed to be a simple, relaxing dinner at a trendy local restaurant turned into a nightmare — one that still haunts me months later.
My friend and I were enjoying a quiet evening out, excited to try the “Farmers Market Kale & Quinoa Salad” from the menu. The dish looked fresh, colorful, and healthy — exactly what we wanted.
But just a few bites in, my friend paused.
“Wait… are there chia seeds in this ?” she asked, squinting at her fork.
I looked closer.
Tiny black specks were scattered across the greens.
“Yeah, probably,” I said, shrugging.
Then we both froze.
Because the specks… were moving .
Not just shifting with the dressing — they were crawling .
The Moment Our Dinner Became a Horror Story
At first, we thought we were imagining it.
But as we leaned in, hearts pounding, we saw it clearly: tiny black insects wriggling in the lettuce .
We called the waiter over, trying to stay calm.
“Can you explain what these black specks are?” I asked, pointing to the plate.
He leaned in, frowned, and then paled .
“I… I don’t know,” he stammered. “I’ll get the manager.”
Within seconds, the manager arrived, took one look, and immediately removed the dish .
But it was too late.
We’d already eaten several bites.
And we couldn’t shake the thought: What did we just consume?
