Skin cast, scab, or dried mucous (Not a bug)

Often found on human skin, inside the nose, or shed on household surfaces.

N/A

This object is non-living. It is likely a piece of dried sebaceous filament, dead skin, keratin, or dried nasal mucous that has been shed. People often mistake these harmless bodily secretions for skin parasites or 'Morgellons' fibers.

Risks: None, though the belief that it is a parasite is often associated with Delusional Parasitosis (Ekbom's syndrome). Benefits: Normal dead tissue shedding.
