My friend and I were having dinner at a trendy restaurant when she suddenly noticed tiny black specks on the salad š²š².
At first, we thought they were chia seeds, but those little balls started to move š±. I called the waiter over in shock š².
As soon as we realized what it was, we rushed to the hospital š±. Iām sharing this with you ā please be careful š£š„
We just wanted a peaceful dinner. Nothing fancy ā a cozy restaurant in the city center, fragrant dishes, soft music. But the evening turned into a real nightmare. My friend ordered a salad with avocado and quinoa. Everything looked delicious, until she suddenly froze, her fork halfway to her mouth.

Do you see that? she asked, pointing at something on the plate. On the surface of the salad were tiny black specks that looked like chia seeds. For a moment, we even thought: āMaybe itās just spices or some trendy topping.ā But her face grew more tense.
These arenāt seeds⦠Look, theyāre⦠moving? We leaned in closer ā and our blood ran cold. Those āseedsā were actually moving. Tiny, almost transparent spheres with dark dots inside⦠They were eggs. Some kind of insect eggs. Right there in the food. First came the shock, then the screaming. Waiters rushed over, trying to explain, but we were already calling an ambulance. We had no idea what creature had laid those eggs ā or whether we had eaten any. My friend started panicking ā out of fear or nausea.

At the hospital, they examined us, ran tests, prescribed medication ājust in case,ā and told us to monitor for symptoms. As for the restaurant ā of course we filed a complaint. They tried to excuse it as a ātechnical errorā or āspoiled ingredients from a supplier,ā but it didnāt matter. After a dinner like that, trust is gone. Ever since then, every time I see chia seeds ā I remember that night.
