Clothing Fibers

Found on textiles, upholstery, carpets, and skin through static electricity or friction.

Non-living; inorganic/dead organic material

Accumulate through shedding or static charge; do not move independently, but may shift with air currents or physical contact.

Generally harmless to humans; however, they are often mistaken for parasites (delusory parasitosis), leading to unnecessary psychological distress or skin irritation from excessive scratching.
