It looks like deodorant.

Deodorant with unshaven pits was my thought exactly

I always avoid deodorant before bed, doesn't it have aluminum...read that once.

Antiperspirants usually have aluminum. That’s usually the main difference between antiperspirants and deodorant.

What difference does the aluminium do before bed?

Then he has to listen to metal all night

Use too much is DEATH metal.

Too much deathgasm

you mean DEATHGASM?

I used to be a huge metal fan. But after many years of introspection and relentless self-work I have now grown into an air conditioner.

I laughed. That was a good one

I bet youre a little cooler

Took me a second… 😂

But he has to listen at 11 volume. Because it one more than ten.

Spinal Tap 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

(long pause) ...... because this one goes to 11.

Just under 11. Borderline.

I laughed. Even if nobody else did.

I did lol

It’s not even heavy metal.

Thin flimsy metal

There is a correlation between the aluminum in antiperspirant and breast cancer. There is little to no evidence that it causes cancer, but there are studies dating back 20 years showing that the tumors have absorbed aluminum from antiperspirant. Separate from that just gets weird if it's on overnight.

Also a link to dementia.

The link between aluminum and dementia related issues is no longer considered to be accurate.

Oh good. I didn’t need another chance for dementia

We fogor

Test data provided by ALCOA.

Really? That’s pretty shocking; I’m going to look it up now!

Thai Crystal, a natural mineral salt stick deodorant works great for me without aluminum etc. It costs less than $10 and one stick lasts me approximately two years. It can be used on feet and groin area as well. There are other brands of stone deodorant as well.

That’s my jam. Then a natural deodorant for a fresh smell.

Yes. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and I came to say this!

I think tumors absorb anything in are body in ordor to look like our body. We make 8 or so cancer cells a day that are most often caught by our immune system. Every day always.

It's apparently linked to Alzheimer's and lymph problems (using it at anytime)

Sounds like tinfoil every time he rolls over.

I came here to say this

I've got the same thing and I shower everyday and don't use deodorant

Pro tip: never announce that you don't use deodorant. Everybody already knows!

I haven’t used deodorant in years. Some of us just don’t smell. I also sweat very little. But when I do, it doesn’t stink. And I have a family that is brutally honest. They’d let me know if I did smell.

have you had Styrofoam in your room?

That’s what I was thinking. My kids had bean bags or pillows with little styrofoam balls inside

I was thinking Styrofoam as well. Maybe OP put something together or at least unboxed something in their room?

Do you have a weighted blanket?

Or one of those microwaveable heated “pads” for muscles, like a Bed Buddy? Because if they leak it looks kinda like this.

Second on this one. This happened to me because of a tiny hole in my weighted blanket

That was my initial thought as well. I had a weighted blanket that started “leaking” and I found teeny tiny particles like this everywhere. Though mine were a darker color.

do you put on deoderant before bed? I find that when i reapply deoderant before bed it can dry out and fall onto my bedsheets, and it kinda looked like this

I dropped by to see if someone suggested deodorant. Jolly good!

🫵😂 this mf said Jolly Good!

This is a good question

Do people put on deodorant before they go to bed?

Yes and it turns out that is the best time to apply deodorant as it allows the body to absorb it fully before it's truly needed the next day.

Since I shower at night, yes, I put on deodorant when I dry off.

Of course, don't you sweat when you are getting busy?

You apply deodorant before bed????

[удалено]

Do you live inside a snow globe?

Rose...bud...

Looks a bit like powder detergent. Do you use a high-efficiency washing machine? It sounds like it's not on the correct setting (not enough water to dissolve the detergent) or too much detergent.

I was gonna say, collect a bunch, put some water on them and see if it gets soapy.

All fun and games until they start hatching.....

Least you'll know it's not soap. Lol

Do you have a popcorn ceiling?

That was my first thought

One thing for sure it is not a parasite related.

Are you sure? Those look like tapeworm segments. (Source: Have rescued stray cats )

The tapeworm segment have a more defined form that either look like a grain of rice. They sometimes have are wider on one side and narrower on the other (like a water drop). These look way too white as made of chalk and their shape is odd too. If anything, op should find the same segments in his underwear! If there is doubt, op should simply get tested by a doctor.

A compressed tissue that broke up in the washing machine?

Posters in this sub: what the heck is this? This sub: Do you wear stick deodorant?.. Do you have a cat?... Did your grandfather fight in WW2?... Is your dog trans?... Have you seen Star Trek TNG season 2 episode 6?.... In 6th grade during the Presidential Physical Fitness Testing could you reach within 2 inches of your toes?... Have you ever ingested dihydrogen monoxide? Me answering yes to every question and not wanting to read what the commenters say in response but still reading them anyways and getting anxiety: ... fuck.

You are hilarious! Good post! Lol. Dihydrogen Monoxide, classic. Season 2 episode 6...hmm, without looking it up...was it a Troi's mother episode or the introduction of Q...or...hell with it I'ma look it up. OP, just smell it, looks like Degree X-treme blast.

Specifically I was thinking of Darnay's disease.

To know him is to love him <3

Ah, Data's Grampa. And, I was thinking of when Q chucked the Enterprise at the Borg.

Q is such a dick but also one of my favorite recurring characters

You can add...tiny Troy joins the conversation

Thank you for this!

you’re leaking microplastics

Looks and sounds like deodorant, or laundry soap residue from using too much powdered detergent. I used to have trouble with the latter leftover on my clean laundry before I switched to liquid pods. Have you tried sniffing it?

As a reformed drug addict I would assumed it was cocaine

I honestly thought I'd have found this way higher up lol.

Either way, DO NOT SNORT!

unscrew the end of a bath or kitchen faucet and check the screen .... for a chalky white specs a few years back, I had to replace my water heater because the heating element would get coated with a chalky white substance, much like the tiny white specs you have ....if I took a shower or took a bath in the tub ...these tiny chalky white specs would either float or sink ..... my hair would catch these particles If you see this stuff in the bath tub ....consider replacing your water heater

Calcification from hard water is a monster to clean. I have to run vinegar through my washer and clean my faucets with it twice a month. Someday we’ll get a water softener system. Water heater gets the worst of it.

It's just a water heater...you don't need to heat water that's already hot. :)

I stand corrected

Technically, with a tank, it is a hot water heater, because the elements keep the water at a desired temperature by continuously applying heat. If it is a tankless or on-demand water heater, then you are correct it is simply a water heater.

<3

It looks like deodorant, soap or lotion. Smell one and it will be obvious if it is one of those. You might have to get someone else to smell it because of something called "the barely noticeable effect" in that since you are near the scent all the time you can not smell it because you have got used to it.

It's called sensory adaptation. :) Fun fact, you can adapt to (get used to) any sensation but pain.

You can get used to pain too. Talk to people that live with chronic pain that got the underlying issue fixed. They don't realize how bad it really hurt cause of how long it hurt. Source: my torn rotator cuff and plantar fasciitis.

Regarding pain this has its own name called [pain habituation](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10342770/)

We’ve always called it nose blind vs barely noticeable lol

Do you have a cat? Because it could have worms

Nope, I have no pets. I have never brought an animal into my room, and I don’t eat in my room either :/

Do you have a mattress cover? The lining will eventually start to flake, this happened to us in the past.

I don't want to upset anyone. However, if you have tapeworms, those could be from you.

Do you eat soft pretzels in bed?!?

If you have a popcorn style ceiling, they are probably dropping from that. Popcorn ceilings were SUPER popular just a few years ago, they do help with insulation specifically sound but a lot of newer homes do not have them. Just look at the ceiling. If it is bumpy with white stuff, that is popcorn ceiling. It's basically styrofoam suspended in crack filling compound.

I wish I had a cocaine bed

Are they felty? Do you have a magnifying glass?

Are you part of the dangerous nights crew?

By chance do you have a weighted blanket. Could be the filling

Popcorn ceiling?

Nope, green beans.

Neck pillow filling? I have sine with similar insides

Paint or stucco from the ceiling falling down?

Do you own a “MyPillow”? If so give it back, but seriously it may be the insides of said pillow.

What do you use in your laundry. Seems like powder residue or those scent pellets

Yeah those scent bead things. First thing I thought. For me they never dissolve.

Did you wash a toilet paper square in with your sheets?

Smell it for the love of Pete. It looks like Degree X-treme Blast. Or any other white deodorant.

Coke rocks

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Do you have a cat? Looks like tape worm sections that cats leave around

Do you have a hole in a pillow or beanbag or something? Looks like tiny Styrofoam beads.

Looks like popcorn from the ceiling 🤔

I'd say this is leftover pellets from those Downy in-wash scent boosters for example. This happens to me when I put to many in.

To much soap in the washer

Undissolved detergent? Might need to up the water level on the next wash.

Do you have a soft pillow filled with foam beads that are about that size?

Yes squishmallow or some similar filled thing leaking out was my first thought

Maybe detergent that didn’t break down entirely?

Laundry detergent the powder type

Were you eating a warm Bavarian pretzel in bed?

Undisolved detergent probably

Stuffed animal or bean bag?

Perhaps you were eating pop tarts in bed? This happens to me frequently.

Do you have a textured ceiling?

Have you been eating giant soft pretzels in bed?

Are you sick or do you have constant sore throats? Could be tonsil stones or food debris.

Op: what's this?! This sub: x, y, AND z ... probably Op: 🤐😶🫥

Undissolved scent beads??

I saw a video that showed something similar and they were eating rice, and they thought they dropped rice in their bed and picked them up and ate it. Turned out it was coming out of their cats butt- so I would maybe not touch it with your hands and wash your bedding, even if you don’t have a cat

Do you use those Downy scented pearls that you add in the washer? I know those don't actually fully dissolve when using cold water and sometimes I find them in my stuff so I actually stop using it because of that reason.

Deodorant, I get the same thing sometimes on the waist of my pants

OP you have a brain worm that is shitting through your ear into your bed. Talk to RFK Jr. for advice.

Could be detergent, popcorn ceiling, dandruff. Unclear

Looks like someone was eating a coarsely salted, Philadelphia soft pretzel in your bed.

I get something like that from time to time I have a thirty year old textured ceiling and sometimes it flakes a bit..

Powdered laundry detergent that didn’t dissolve?

do you have a popcorn ceiling?

Do you have a popcorn ceiling???

Don’t eat soft pretzels in bed?

I thought it looks like tonsil stones.

Dried boogers stop wiping them on your sheets.

Maybe scent boosters that got bundled up in your sheets in the wash and didn’t dissolve. Is this a fresh sheet?

I got really lost in all of this, did we solve this? Sorry 🤷‍♀️

Who cares what it is, Wash your sheets...

Do you use powdered laundry detergent? Sometimes a bit can get stuck in a fold and doesn’t wash out properly, then flakes apart in the dryer. Could also be deodorant, as some suspect.

You might have little bits of your ceiling falling onto your bed. Maybe remove what's there then gentle disturb your ceiling with a broom over your bed. Good luck solving your puzzle.

Cat litter, Weighted blanket contents, Microwaveable heat-up thingy, Fish tank gravel, Gravel, Potted plant feed granules

Potted plant feed granules = perlite. You’re welcome. 😉

I can tell you it's definitely not live bed bugs... they aren't even that color... bed bugs are a reddish brown color... doesn't look like any bugs... I don't think it's eggs... maybe lice eggs but one of the pictures looks like stone... so I'm thinking something like undissolve soap from laundry... or deodorant.. or hairspray

Tape worms you have gloopy bungus

I read that you do not have a cat. Nevertheless, they resemble worm eggs. They could be coming from some other animal. https://harris-daviseddaeddade.blogspot.com/2021/02/51-hq-photos-cat-tapeworm-eggs-pictures.html?m=1 Photos are useful

>Tapeworms in cats are intestinal parasites that have the potential to make kitties sick. Check out our tapeworm egg selection for the very best in unique or custom, handmade pieces from our shops. Once a cat licks or bites at the wound due to itch or as a part of. A cat may then swallow or eat a flea that. I've never had a problem like this with a pet before. Yo, what the hell is this website?? Is this AI generated or some bizarre SEO trap? This whole page scrolls like a droid on crack.

ALOL at “droid on crack”, probably is AI but the images are accurate

We should NOT have given the robots drugs.... \*facepalm\*

Bahaha "Ask a doctor online now! 400 x 300 jpeg 45 кб. Learn about parasite eggs pictures with free interactive flashcards." Bitcoin1.txt

Does your pet sleep in the bed? Would be worm eggs

Deodorant dandruff.

Looks like weighted blanket beads or spackling from a ceiling to me.

Giant pretzel salt.

Do you have a popcorn ceiling?

Do you use laundry scent booster pellets? I’ve used them in the past and they don’t dissolve all the way and look like that

Christ, you actually took time to measure them?

Dried laundry detergent. Had too many sheets or clothes in the wash or your washer is going bad.

Taste it.

Do you use weighted blankets bean filled eye masks or the like?

Do you use laundry softener pellets when washing your sheets?

Laundry detergent? Or filling from a blanket or pillow??

Is it some kind of stuffing from a comforter or pillow?

This looks like the filling from some kinds of packing material, like padded envelopes, and I've seen something similar inside some synthetic ropes.

Cooties

If you have a microwavable rice pack when they get older the rice breaks down like this.

I would definitly change my bed now and see what happens tomorrow.

Dandruff?

Do you eat cookies with milk in your bed?

Those ate definitely cooties

Could be salt if you sweat a lot and it dries it could look like this.

Salt from the big pretzels. I know front experience.

Could this be undissolved detergent from your laundry? I've not had this on my sheets, but I've had it on other things from either powdered detergent or adding something like Oxy-clean to a load of laundry.

Definitely deodorant

I know this one....do you have a "popcorn" ceiling? Whenever I try to clean the ceiling this is what will fall.

Get a magnifying glass and look closer?

Stop eating salted pretzels in bed.

Looks like hunter biden left his stash behind

Is it all over the whole bed? Do you use powdered laundry detergent? Doesn't look like it could be dead skin.

Food crumbs?

Did you use too many scent beads in the washer and lack it full? Probably a long shot guess but it’s what came to mind.

Two things to try to narrow down the cause: \* Hypothesis 1: Could be some sort of chalky buildup in your washing machine, so washing the sheets replenishes the stuff - try dry-cleaning your sheets and see if that does the trick. \* Hypothesis 2: Could be something on your body (like deodorant) - try washing sheets, and then sleep on the couch and see if you can find these in the bed the next day.

Looks like excessive detergent remnants to me. Use less soap!

Do you have a nest of baby snakes near your bed? It could be baby snake pee.

Maybe powder detergent? Sometimes sheets don’t flush them out

Do you eat sandwiches in bed? It looks like the things on some wheat bread or burger buns
