To be honest - I don't even like people using my hairbrush. But I dislike their hair being messy even more. So I tolerate it.

Knowledge can irritate me. Such as the knowledge that a lot of the dust we find in homes, is in fact dead skin cells. :oops: :sick:

Isn't that a myth?

I remember where I heard it, was on some old deep sea diving movie where the diving captain went up to some old guys office in a tower where he was cleaning his medals, they were discussing that cookie must fail his test the next day.

Whats the movie called again? I know Dinero play's in it.

Mostly - but not completely.

"This is one of those “Eww! Gross!” factoids that sound very scientific, but isn’t really true. Sometimes a specific percentage of dust is said to be skin, usually about 70 or 80 percent, but unless you’re a molting bird or reptile (or you work in Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory), very little of your environment is composed of dead body parts.

There are far more common sources of dust pollutants, including animal dander, sand, insect waste, flour (in the kitchen), and of course lots of good, old-fashioned dirt.

Every time we open a window or a door, we stir up and move around tiny, airborne particles that eventually settle around the house. Humans do shed dead skin, but most of it is carried away by water when we shave or bathe, ending up not on our floors but in our sewers. Now don’t you feel better?"

Bug droppings and pet dander don't make me happier.

Hmmm, could be worse I suppose, however we do shed hair, the drain plug knows.
