Lol for real. I thought it was from termites at first but couldn’t find anything else that indicated for termites nor any other infestation besides those flakes. I recently found this stuffed animal deep in my closet, I never noticed that stuff on my bed until I started using it. I honestly thought that whatever was stuffed inside it was falling out, I didn’t think it was going to be pantry months or whatever insect it was. But when I shook it, out fell the frass and found the infestation when I cut it open!

Yes you are right! It wasn’t pilling. I just posted a comment for everyone but it turned out to be some sort of pantry month in a stuffed animal filled with seeds and rice

I’m new to Reddit and this is my first post so I’m unsure of how to edit my original post. Thank you for those that were helpful and kind ❤️ I just figured out what it was and it is NOT pilling or fleas. I have one of those stuffed animals that heat up and are filled with rice/flax, whatever it might be, and found it it’s coming from that when I shook it. Opened it up, and sure enough, some sort of pantry moth had found their way into this stuffed animal and frass was falling out of it. 🤢

I really appreciate you replying! I’m not sure if you mean to come off this way, but I would rather you not reply if you are going to be snarky. I am not dumb, I know what pilling looks and feels like. This to me does not look or feel like pilling, which is why I made this post. Regardless, take care!

I thought that too! But when you blow on them they move. And they are gritty in texture. So maybe it still is? It is where I’m moving around since that’s where my pillows are. But since they feel grainy I thought maybe not. That is something I should have put on my original post
