What Those Tiny Balls Usually Are
Most often, those mysterious little spheres aren’t dangerous at all. Here are some common culprits:
1. Bed Bug Eggs
- Appearance: Tiny, oval, cream-colored, sticky
- Location: Usually tucked in mattress seams or under the bed frame
- Note: If you notice these, check for other signs like small blood stains or shed skins
2. Dust Mite Droppings
- Appearance: Very small, round, often white or beige
- Location: Mixed with dust in bedding
- Note: Generally harmless, but they can trigger allergies
3. Fabric or Lint Balls
- Appearance: Tiny fibers rolled into balls, often from clothing or sheets
- Location: Bedding or laundry areas
- Note: Completely harmless
4. Food or Snack Debris
- Appearance: Tiny crumbs, sometimes round or bead-like
- Location: Anywhere you eat or snack in bed
- Note: A simple vacuum or wash solves it
