I just found this thing on my bed. It’s kind of freaking me out. What is it?

That’s exactly what happened in the photo above. Three mysterious reddish-brown objects were found in a person’s palm after being found on a bed. Let’s look at some possible explanations.

What you need:
What to do:
Check for any dietary supplements or medications nearby. Look for dropped capsules or opened packages. Ask other family members. Someone might have dropped something without realizing it.

Don’t eat them. Even if they look like vitamins, never ingest an unknown substance.

Clean the bed thoroughly. If in doubt, wash the sheets and vacuum the area.
One final note: Finding an unknown object can be alarming, but not everything that’s unknown is dangerous. In this case, everything points to harmless objects, probably accidentally dropped capsules. If you’re still unsure and there doesn’t seem to be anything in the house that matches, save a sample and ask a pharmacist for advice.
