Dry Skin Flake (Not a Bug)

Found on human skin, scalp, clothing, or household surfaces.

Does not eat; it is dead tissue shed from the body.

Dry skin naturally sheds from the stratum corneum (outermost layer of skin). It is inanimate and does not move or behave on its own. It is often mistaken for skin parasites or 'morgellons' due to pareidolia.

Harmless debris. While unsightly or a potential allergen (dust mites feed on it), dry skin flakes themselves pose no direct risk to humans.
