It seems like the cells in the leaves are exploding. Not so sure what would cause this

Okay, thanks!

If you can't find any evidence of bugs outside of those specks, I would look into overwatering. Overwatwring can be more than the act of just watering it too much. It can be things like poor draining soil and pots. If she is good there, then it might be fungal :( I don't like the look of that last photo

I was dealing with spider mites… Could have been from those?

That looks like edema

Thats what I was thinking too.
