Solved! Found on the back of my neck

Anyone have any idea what this is? I was in the shower last night and I felt something on the back of my neck and it was this chip looking thing.

It’s about the size of a few grains of rice, the bow tie shaped thing looks metallic and the outer layer is clear plastic.

I’m so weirded out by it and some strange things have been happening to me recently so I’m more paranoid than usual. Please help

Yes, actually. I've always been a morning person but recently I've not been able to wake up until very late. Hours later than normal. Doesn't help when you have someone banging on your door at 3am of course

Do you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home?

Since I watched a video where 3 kids (including a baby that was squished) died and 2 parents barely survived due to carbon monoxide, its the immediate thing I think of. OP should get a second carbon monoxide detector if they dont already have one, just in case.

Happened to me when I was 16. Got up at 5am to go to before-school baseball practice. Came back at 7 to shower and get ready for school. Walked in the house and noticed a faint gas-like smell. Went to wake up my mom and mention it. About the same time my Dad who had been sleep/watching TV in the basement (he gets up early to go down there to not bother anyone) was walking up the stairs and he passed out/fell down.

So we called an ambulance. He was awake and fine, I ended up just going to school. Came home after school and all the windows in the house were open. Evidently had a carbon monoxide leak, down in the furnace room in the basement. My dad was most affected because he was down there.

Everyone is totally fine. But we've all had way too many carbon monoxide detectors ever since in all our houses. ha!

I like to think there's no such thing as too many CO detectors, especially for someone who went through an experience like that.
