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?
