I saw something strange under the back seat  At first, I thought it was a dried-up plant, then I thought maybe someone in my family had forgotten it there  But when I looked closer at the strange object, I noticed weird spikes on its surface – they looked like teeth 

When I finally realized what it was, I removed it immediately… I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if I had inhaled it too closely…  I explain what it was in the first comment 

It was way back under the back seat, in a spot where you normally never look. At first, I thought it was just a dried-up plant – pale, fuzzy, like it had been pulled out of the ground and forgotten.

I thought: “Maybe someone dropped something organic, and it dried out?”

But looking closer, I got uneasy.

The “plant” didn’t seem dead. It looked like it was growing. It had a curved shape, like the trail of something crawling, and its surface was covered with strange spikes or crystals – resembling coral or teeth.

The truth was even worse.

It was salt crystallization. Apparently, a battery had leaked nearby – or worse, a chemical substance from a spray can, maybe hidden under the seat.

The salt was growing as if alive, reacting with plastic, metal, and upholstery. What looked harmless was actually a sign of corrosion and a toxic reaction.

And now think about it: how long had it been growing there, hidden, without me noticing?

And what would have happened if I had inhaled it too closely…
