I thought it was just rice, but the truth turned out to be much worse

 The Morning I Found “Rice Grains” in My Bed. I woke up to find strange white grains on my sheets. At first, I thought my husband had spilled rice — until I noticed one of them moved. My stomach dropped.

After searching online, I realized they were bedbug eggs.

 What They Look Like:

• About 1 mm long

• White, oval, shiny

• Often hidden in mattress seams, furniture cracks, or behind baseboards

 The Risk:

• Hatch in 6–10 days into blood-feeding larvae

• Bites cause itching, irritation, allergies, and insomnia

 How They Spread:

• Suitcases after travel

• Used furniture or clothes

• Even through walls and vents from neighbors

 How to Get Rid of Them:

• Deep clean, vacuum seams and cracks

• Wash fabrics at 60°C+

• Use steam on mattresses and furniture

• Best option: call pest control to avoid re-infestation

If I hadn’t spotted those “grains,” within a week I would’ve had a full-blown infestation.
