We ordered a salad, but there were tiny black specks in the food – it took us straight to the hospital

🥗 A Chilling Reminder: The Night Our Salad Sent Us to the Hospital

A quiet dinner, a simple salad, and the kind of twist no one expects. What began as a relaxed outing turned into a sudden lesson in food awareness—a story that lingers far beyond the emergency room.

🌿 When the Plate Looked Too Perfect

Two friends, good vibes, and a quinoa-avocado salad that looked like a wellness ad. Until… those tiny black specks. At first glance, they seemed like trendy chia seeds—but they shifted. Moved. Revealed themselves not as seeds, but something else entirely: insect eggs, reportedly bedbug eggs of an uncommon species.

🚨 The Response Was Immediate

• Staff Pale and Panicked: The restaurant cleared the plates and scrambled for explanations.
• Emergency Room Visit: No physical symptoms, but anxiety and precaution ruled the night.
• Health Authorities Notified: Transparency and responsibility had to follow.
