Fluff you find on the floor, is actually partly made up of dead Skin.

You know that when dogs are searching for people, they are actually smelling dead skin cells that people leave behind.

I was unaware of that. I know when they sniff each other, it's to check for some kind of Pheremones or canine scent. Not sure the exact reason for it, or why a different Canine Pheremone makes any difference, but it must do.

I did hear once, and I might be recalling this wrong, but the average human sheds about 1KG of dead skin every year.

Potentially interesting; I wonder.

Well did you know that the little dot over the "i" is called a tittle?

And the other part of it is dust mites. Dust is mostly dead skin and dust mite poop.
