there was a mite issue before but i think it's taken care of, and either way these specks (while really small) are bigger than a mite, so i really don't think they're eggs or anything. they kind of look like basil seeds. they almost look like weed seeds that never grew into a full seed or something, although i don't think that's possible? i dunno, the weed tastes fine, i just can't remember seeing stuff like this in weed i've bought so i was curious what they were.
