What exactly are they made out of? Do dust bunnys actually look like bunnies? Is there even any difference between all of this madness? I heard on some news channel that dust is just a bunch of dead skin or something..so what's your take on them? They sure do make me sneeze when I clean and stuff. It's funny how you dust something off and then they come back..

Most dust is made of skin.

Dust Bunnies are clumps of dust.

Dust Mites live in Dust Bunnies.

And that's how it goes.

Yes, some dust is made of skin. The rest, it's all just dust.

I remember hearing a while back that dust bunnies are potentially carcinogenic (cancer causing). Any truth to that?

I'll go with Neko on this one, it most likely isn't. Besides, a lot of things are "said" to cause cancer.

That's right. Typing this right now is causing cancer. You know, maybe I should do some cleaning too. I don't even know what's in my closet or under my bed.

Dust is just bits and pieces of random stuff floating around in the air, then it settles and is really annoying because you blow it off and you nearly choke yourself to death trying to not breathe the stuff in.

Dust bunnies are those REALLY annoying clumps of dust you get undre your couch/bed/furnature. And I dont need to clean, my room is fine

When people are allergic to dust (me), they're not actually allergic to dust, they're allergic to the dust mites, which are microscopic. Zooming in on their picture they're like some killer disgusting bug that will suck out your blood.. I can't explain it. It sucks.

Well, technically, there could be skin in that, if it is random stuff. It's still probably only a very small percentage.

Ooh, that's what I thought . I wasn't sure on my dusty facts . So is lint basically the same thing? Or is that just like..pieces of thread from articles of clothing? I wonder if dust can be mixed with lint too Lint's also annoying..especially on black shirts..

I have to do the laundry, so I should know this. Lint is just pieces of things that come of whatever you're drying.

Google image search, however, explains quite well.

Yes, dust mites are... odd-looking, and odd in general. You'd have to be allergic to them to affect you that much, considering they're microscopic.

ahah....cancer is really just caused by mutations in cells. I don't really think that dust could cause that ;

Well there's nothing official that says what can cause cancer and what can't.

JJ, you do laundry? And you've got information? Oh do tell more!
