A mother encountered a surprising discovery at the foot of her 7-year-old son's bed, sparking widespread speculation and even concern in the comment section.
After finding something she couldn't identify, the mother turned to the Facebook group Family Lowdown Tips & Ideas, seeking answers.
She posted, "Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It's at the end of my son's bed on the floor," accompanied by photos of a large pile of unknown material scattered on the floor next to her son's bed, as reported by the New York Post.
Comments from the group members poured in, offering various suggestions. One member jokingly commented, "No... new fear unlocked," while another shared, "OMG, my skin is crawling – I hope this is cereal because I'm getting scared."
A third contributed a spine-tingling theory, suggesting, "Definitely tarantula black widow scorpion eggs. Extremely venomous, and they bide their time to attack." Another added, "The horror definitely seems to stem from something frightening."

Speculations continued, with some considering the possibility of a mouse attack. A Facebook group member shared their own experience, revealing, "I had something similar in our shed once. Turned out, mice and rats had gotten in."
Another participant recalled a similar incident, saying, "It turned out I had mice. They had eaten everything in the stuffed animals. I had to move out. So my advice is to keep toys in boxes and get those mousetraps out."
Despite the alarming speculations, it was eventually revealed that the source of the disturbance wasn't as sinister as imagined.
The mother explained that the mess came from a heat pack that could be heated in the microwave and had unexpectedly burst. "I vacuumed a couple of days ago, and it wasn't there. I went back to vacuuming again, and there it was," she clarified. Others concurred, sharing their experiences with similar microwaveable heat packs, speculating that the seeds inside these toys were the culprits.
In the end, it's clear that the mother is relieved to find the seeds from the heat pad, rather than tarantula black widow scorpion eggs.
