I found these stains on the bottom sheet of my bed today. Could they be fecal? I believe the first photo is clearer, but the second has flash and is a better representation of the color (it also has a penny for size reference). Thanks for taking a look, as always.

Hi,

I agree wrong colour, shape, texture extremely unlikely to be bedbug related.

Thanks so much! After posting this I used some hydrogen peroxide and the stain disappeared, leaving only the faintest dot, which I think would also indicate it isn't bedbugs.

Mr. Cain,
What color, shape and texture would the stains be if it were fecal?
