If you receive unsolicited seeds by mail, don't open or plant them.


Nikki Fried, FL Agriculture Commissioner

The creepy packages come with Chinese characters, and some also have the name "China Post" on them.

Florida isn't the only state receiving strange seeds as residents in Virginia, Kansas, Washington, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Utah have reported getting this same weird package.

The Department of Agriculture is strongly advising residents not to open nor plant the seeds as they can be harmful to animals and humans.
