Mystery seeds from packages marked jewelry.

Several people across the US have reported receiving packages marked as jewelry that actually contain mysterious seeds from China.

Kentucky’s commissioner of agriculture, Ryan Quarles, said on Sunday that Kentucky was “the 4th known state to report suspicious packages appearing to originate from China containing seeds.”
Ryan Quarles has also asked recipients not to plant the seeds, as they “could contain invasive species.” He said they should put the package in a bag, wash their hands, and contact the Department of Agriculture.

Virginia’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services also said on Friday that it was aware of reports of several residents receiving “unsolicited packages containing seeds that appear to have originated from China.”
The department said that while it had not identified the seeds, they “may be invasive plant species.” It asked recipients not to plant the seeds but to contact the Office of Plant Industry Services.

AGAIN, DO NOT PLANT THESE SEEDS!
