Maybe fruit fly or fungus gnat excrement? Or the start of Xanthomonas? Or nothing :-)

Yeah, see if they're removable onto a white paper plate.
In staring at it, that's a heck of a leaf(s), nonetheless!
Ahhh, Nature...eg

If you never have, wait 'til you see the silvery pattern on the leaves of a FP plant in the patch - to me, it is an indication that it is doing well and is very unique. Thanks for discovering 'fat hairs' on a FP leaf. Maybe it's a new trait. Well, new to us, lol. eg

I've been growing FPs a lot longer than I have AGs and I've never seen this.
